What we do
We care a lot about our mission: To analyze and summarize the latest scientific research to help you be healthier. The company mission may be perfunctory for some organizations, but we take ours very seriously.
Transparency is vital to us, to both our users and our employees. We give our employees autonomy and responsibility and practice financial transparency and profit sharing with our team members.
We are a virtual and global company that allows you to work from wherever you wish. Our latest in-person meeting was in Mexico, and we flew in employees from Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Cyprus.
What we are looking for
We are looking for a backend web developer to help us further develop the new Examine 2.0. Ideally, you are interested in health and nutrition and can nerd out with us.
If accepted for the position, you’ll work with a team of cool and curious nutrition nerds. We’re a humble group (yes, writing that felt a little weird), and everyone who joins the team is easy to work with. We take our work seriously, not ourselves.
Candidates should have at least three years of experience working in a team with Laravel.
Having experience submitting to open source software is a plus.
To repeat: It’s of utmost importance that you’re open-minded, curious, and easy to work with.
What we offer you
- Competitive salary
- Remote-working — pick the hours that work best for you.
- Four-day work week; Fridays are off.
- Many companies claim this, but we are strict about enforcing no emails or slack usage during this time.
- Unlimited vacation time
- Work-life balance — as a health organization, it is important that no one works excessive hours, works on the weekend, or burns themselves out.
- Team profit-sharing (we share 20% of pre-tax profits).
About us
The ideal candidate has used Examine. If you haven’t, please be honest. We’re looking for someone interested in a career shift to a unique company that focuses on accuracy, objectivity, and helpfulness above all.
We have no external funding and are laser-focused on improving people’s lives, being transparent, and balancing free vs. paid content.
We are a flat organization, so you will not have a manager to report to. Our development team is small (currently two developers), and you will work with them to best organize the workflow.
Employees are expected to give a weekly report on what they have completed and will be doing in the future. We do not micromanage, count hours, or do anything invasive — we treat you like an adult.
At Examine, we are very focused on collaborative effort — we always explain the why of what we are doing, and your feedback is encouraged in all facets of the company, even outside of development.
We take pride in not being “just another job” — you’re welcome to review our Employee Handbook and how it applies to our team members. Our entire approach is to build a company we would enjoy working at — one that allows us to be challenged and grow our skillset and enjoy our work, not be crushed with relentless work hours.
We are happy to make team members available for you to talk to; consider them our references.
