Careers at DietOwl

Build something that actually makes India healthier.

We are a small, independent team rebuilding how Indian families eat. If that sounds like your kind of work, keep reading. If not, thank you for stopping by, and good luck wherever you land.

Who we hire

We look for a very specific kind of person.

We are not looking for the best CVs. We are looking for people who take the work personally. Read the list on the right. If most of it sounds like you, we probably want to meet.

  • You care about the person on the other end of the WhatsApp. You read their last message again before you reply. You remember what they told you three weeks ago.

  • You are allergic to cookie-cutter advice. Generic answers make you uncomfortable, because the person asked for help, not a FAQ.

  • You learn every week, not once a year. A new paper, a new course, a new recipe from a client, a new angle on an old problem. You chase the detail.

  • You take ownership when nobody asked you to. You write the SOP nobody told you to write. You spot the gap and close it before anyone points it out.

  • You are comfortable saying “I don’t know. Let me find out.” That sentence builds more trust than any certification on the wall.

  • You understand that 9 to 5 is a clock. Care is not.

Not a fit

This is not for everyone. And that is okay.

If any of these sounds like you, we will not be a good match. No hard feelings. We would rather save each other the time.

  • You want a steady, predictable, low-effort salary job.

  • You see clients as tickets to close.

  • You resent having to learn something new.

  • You measure your work by hours logged, not by what actually changed for a client.

Open roles

9 roles. 3 teams. One mission.

We are growing fast, but we are growing deliberately. Every role below reports into someone who still reads every client message. If you join DietOwl, you will never be far from the work that actually matters.

Team 01

Clinical

The heart of DietOwl. The team that actually talks to clients, reads their meal photos, and adjusts their plan week after week.

2 roles open

Clinical Dietitian

Own your clients end-to-end. See them change.

Remote · IndiaFull-time

What we need

  • MSc in Clinical Nutrition, Dietetics, or equivalent
  • Registered Dietitian (RD) licence
  • 2+ years of clinical or consulting experience (strong passion can substitute)
  • Fluent written English; one or more Indian languages is a big plus

What you will do

  • Build personalised nutrition plans grounded in your client's actual food, kitchen, and conditions
  • Reply on WhatsApp through the day, including the occasional 11 PM craving
  • Adjust the plan every week based on real progress, not a template
  • Coordinate with your client's doctor when medications or lab reports need to be considered
  • Learn from each case; share what you learned with the rest of the team

What success looks like

Your clients graduate. They don't just lose weight or manage their PCOS for three months. They leave you knowing how to feed themselves for life.

Senior Clinical Dietitian (Team Lead)

Mentor the dietitians who are mentoring our clients.

Remote · IndiaFull-time

What we need

  • MSc in Clinical Nutrition or equivalent; Registered Dietitian licence
  • 5+ years of clinical experience across diabetes, PCOS, thyroid, or weight management
  • Prior experience mentoring or leading a small team of dietitians
  • Comfort reading clinical research and translating it into internal protocols

What you will do

  • Mentor a team of 4 to 6 dietitians; review their plans, coach their client messaging
  • Write and maintain the internal clinical SOPs and case-handling playbooks
  • Take on the most complex cases yourself. Lean PCOS, polypharmacy, post-pregnancy with complications, the ones where generic plans fall apart
  • Partner with the product team to shape new features, from CGM integration to lab-report parsing
  • Be the clinical conscience of the company. If a business decision will compromise a client, you say so loudly

What success looks like

Every junior dietitian on your team tells us they feel sharper six months in than the day they joined.

Team 02

Product & Engineering

The team that builds the software, AI, and design that lets dietitians spend more time with clients and less on paperwork.

3 roles open

Full-Stack Engineer

Build the product that makes the dietitian's day 10x more useful.

Remote · IndiaFull-time

What we need

  • 3+ years shipping production software in TypeScript with Node and Next.js
  • Experience with Postgres, serverless deployment, and at least one messaging API (WhatsApp Business, Twilio, or similar)
  • Comfort owning a feature end-to-end, from schema to UI, without handoffs
  • You write tests that catch real regressions, not tests that hit a coverage number

What you will do

  • Build the internal tooling our dietitians live in: client timelines, meal photo review, plan versioning, weekly check-ins
  • Ship the client-facing experience: the consultation flow, the WhatsApp bot handoff, the progress views
  • Partner with the AI/ML team to bring their models into day-to-day dietitian workflow
  • Own reliability. When WhatsApp breaks at 11 PM, you are the person on call

What success looks like

A new dietitian can onboard a client, build their first plan, and send it on WhatsApp in under 20 minutes, without a spreadsheet in sight.

Apply for this role

See the “How to apply” note below before you send.

AI / ML Engineer

Help our dietitians do the job of ten, without losing the part that makes them human.

Remote · IndiaFull-time

What we need

  • 3+ years working on production ML or LLM systems, not just notebooks
  • Fluent with fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, and evaluating LLM output rigorously (not just vibes)
  • Some background in nutrition, healthcare, or a similarly regulated domain is a plus
  • Strong opinions about when AI is the right tool and when it absolutely is not

What you will do

  • Build the nutrition-planning assistant that drafts the first version of every plan for the dietitian to review and edit
  • Build the meal-photo recognition system that helps dietitians respond to 100 photos a day, not 10
  • Design evaluation pipelines so we actually know when a model is helping versus hurting client outcomes
  • Work directly with clinicians to catch the edge cases that generic models get wrong: lean PCOS, pregnancy modifications, post-bariatric nutrition

What success looks like

Every dietitian tells us the AI is the smartest colleague they have ever worked with, and they have never had to override it for a safety reason.

Product Designer

Design the experience that makes changing your diet feel possible.

Remote · IndiaFull-time

What we need

  • 3+ years designing consumer-facing products, ideally in health, fintech, or education
  • Strong systems thinking. You have shipped a real design system, not just components
  • Fluent in Figma; comfortable prototyping interactions
  • Willing to sketch in pencil before you open a design tool

What you will do

  • Design the entire client experience, from landing page to WhatsApp onboarding to long-term relationship
  • Design the internal tools dietitians spend their day in. These matter more than anything public
  • Build and steward the DietOwl design system; keep visual and interaction consistency as we grow
  • Run user research; talk to five clients a week and bring back what you actually heard

What success looks like

A client who has never used a health app in their life can book a consultation, receive a plan, and reply to a meal check-in without once needing help.

  • An eye for visual design; basic Canva / CapCut fluency

  • Protect the tone. We don't do clickbait, we don't do fear-mongering, and we don't chase trends that conflict with our values
  • Run weekly experiments; share what worked and, more importantly, what didn't

What success looks like

Our account feels like a person, not a brand. Prospective clients slide into our DMs because they feel seen before they have even spoken to us.

  • Produce 2 to 4 short-form videos a week, collaborating with dietitians on scripts
  • Capture real client wins on video, with their consent, in a way that is genuine rather than salesy

Someone scrolling Instagram at 1 AM stops on our video, watches the whole thing, and DMs us the next morning.

Find the people who already need us, and make sure we are the first ones they find.

  • Deep SEO expertise: keyword research, technical SEO, content-led organic growth
  • Fluent with Meta Ads and Google Ads; comfortable wiring up conversion tracking yourself

  • Run performance campaigns across Meta and Google with a brutal eye on CAC and payback
  • Instrument every funnel step so we know exactly where prospects stall
