We're a high-growth organization powered by science, technology, and world-class talent. When you join Noom, on any team, you'll see the impact of your work on the world.
Our Architecture Team
Our Architecture team builds and powers the core infrastructure behind every app, service, and developer across Noom. We're one of the most critical teams in the business, ensuring that everything we build is designed with scalability and quality in mind. As Noom continues to grow across new products and user experiences, our team sets the technical foundation that makes that growth possible.

In the near term, you'll also help refine and drive adoption of fully agentic backend service development across the company. Over the longer term, you'll help define Noom's architecture vision, ensuring our platform can scale in a secure and compliant fashion across new products and user experiences, while cultivating AI expertise to unlock efficiencies across engineering.
