About Velora

We build care that helps people live healthier and longer.

Velora is a digital healthcare provider focused on medically supported weight loss. We build products that make the patient journey smoother and help our care teams work more efficiently. Covering onboarding, payments and subscriptions, follow-ups, communication, knowledge content, and upcoming integrated care flows.

Your impact will save lives. What you build at Velora helps more people access effective, medically supported weight loss, reducing their risk of serious conditions like cardiovascular disease and other obesity-related complications. Research suggests obesity can shorten life expectancy by up to around 10–15 years, often with years of avoidable health struggles. Here, your work can help change that trajectory.

Why now: 

We’re in a phase where we’re scaling and evolving both our internal platform (“Velora Tools”) and patient-facing functionality, such as portal experiences, information/FAQ, profiles and payments, notifications, and upcoming integrations (e.g., BankID and additional care flows).

How we work:

·        We build for the long term: clear architecture, well-structured integrations, and a codebase that’s easy to maintain.

·        Close collaboration across engineering, product, and design (Figma), with a strong focus on quality and usability.

·        You’ll own medium-complexity tasks independently, with support from senior developers.

·        Use Lovable to quickly showcase and demo ideas (rapid prototyping for stakeholders)

The challenge you’ll own

Ship a high-quality, performant, and intuitive platform for patients and clinicians. Building across frontend, backend, cloud, and integrations to deliver a seamless experience end-to-end.

What success looks like

After ~3 months (directionally):

·        You’ve shipped multiple production improvements across both frontend and backend in our TypeScript stack.

·        You’ve improved or extended at least one integration (e.g., Stripe or Firebase-related flows) with clear logging and solid error handling.

·        You’re comfortable with our workflow: PRs, code reviews, and implementing design from Figma.

After ~6 months:

·        You reliably own medium-complexity features end-to-end (UI → API → DB → configuration/deploy).

·        You actively improve quality: testing, integration robustness, and developer experience (CI/CD, DX).

·        You’re a strong partner to the team in making the platform more scalable and easier to evolve.
