Are you passionate about what keto and low carb can do for people? Would you love to join an outstanding team in building software that can change the lives of millions?
If so, we want to hear from you.
We are hiring awesome junior developers - especially soon-to-be or recent graduates - to come join our rocket ship in beautiful Stockholm, Sweden.
Why work for Diet Doctor
Diet Doctor has about 200,000 daily visitors, over 40,000 paying members, and 17 full-time coworkers - growing at 200 % annually. Our goal is to empower people everywhere to revolutionize their health - by making low carb simple.
We are funded by the people, owned by those who work here, and - because we want to build a company that can do good for 100+ years - we've turned down every investment opportunity we've received from venture capitalists. Fortunately, with the support of our members, we've been able to fund this growth without outside investments
We offer competitive salaries and the opportunity to become a co-owner in our explosively growing company. Even more importantly - we give you the chance to work for a purpose-driven company that exists to do good in the world.
You'll get the opportunity to travel internationally too if you want that. We travel to conferences all over the world, go on a week-long low-carb cruise in the Carribean annually, and this year we went on a weekend trip with the team to Nice, France.
Don't live in Stockholm but speak excellent English? No problem - we'll help you to move here and find a place to live.
Timing not perfect? Reach out anyway - we'll wait for the right person.

Our mission: Making low carb simple
The obesity and diabetes epidemics are causing more and more human suffering all over the world, but people are still not being told the truth. Taking drugs and eating low-fat diets doesn't really work - it does not stop the progression of the disease, and it certainly does not reverse it.
Lobbyists for Big Pharma and Big Food/Sugar want to keep things as they are - they make big money from selling drugs and obesity-causing food to sick people, and continue to spread outdated and incorrect ideas that slow down progress.
But lobbyists and backwards "experts" can't control the internet. They can't stop knowledge from spreading. And we intend to speed up this process, to get the word out to all in need. That's our job, and we'll do that by creating products that:
Read the story of Diet Doctor- make the health benefits of keto and low-carb diets simple to fully understand,
- make it simple to eat keto and low carb,
- make it simple for those who want to spread the message to all in need.
