We Are Redefining How People Approach Their Health

ZOE is the science and nutrition company leading a movement to transform the health of millions. We exist because the food we eat is making us sick. Most of what we are taught about food is wrong.

ZOE runs the world’s largest nutrition science study to find scientifically proven solutions. Our randomised controlled trial of ZOE proves that if you eat the right food for your body, you can feel healthier in weeks and be on track for more healthy years.

ZOE can change the way you eat, feel, and live. We host world-leading scientists on our podcast and bring proven science to your plate with Daily30+, our 30+ plant supplement.

Over 100,000 people rely on ZOE Membership, our personalised nutrition program, to make smarter food choices. ZOE Membership turns complex science into clear step-by-step actions, helping you improve your health with every meal.

About The Engineering Team

At ZOE, we're on a mission to empower people with the most advanced science and technology to transform their health. Our Engineering team sits at the heart of that mission. We’re a distributed team across the UK and EU, who thrive on solving complex challenges together.

We bring a wide mix of skills — from front-end, back-end, full-stack, and mobile engineering to machine learning, data science, and analytics — to build the experiences that guide our members through their health journey.

We’re proud of the diversity in our team: 44% female and 56% male, with colleagues from many different backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences. We believe this diversity makes us stronger, more creative, and better equipped to serve our global community.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to join our dynamic team and help build impactful experiences for ZOE members. This role sits at the heart of our product development, working closely with product managers, product designers, data scientists, and other engineers to deliver web and app features that improve people’s health.

• Shipping to production regularly, ideally daily or as often as possible.
• Supporting and learning from senior engineers while growing your own skills.
• Contributing ideas to improve team processes, quality, and efficiency.

We Think You Would Be Great If You…

• Have 3–5 years of experience in full-stack or back-end development, with web experience preferred.
• Have strong skills in at least one backend language (Kotlin, Python, Java) and frontend framework (React, Next.js, React Native).
• Have a pragmatic approach to engineering — favouring simple, maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity.
