Senior Research Scientist

🚀 The Company

Nutrium is a health tech company transforming how people engage with nutrition on a global scale. For years, we’ve improved the experience of nutrition professionals and patients with today’s #1 nutrition counseling platform. But we didn’t stop there.

Today, our mission extends further. With Nutrium Care, we aim to make real nutrition accessible to everyone - promoting healthier and happier lives.

Our journey is fueled by core values that guide every decision we make. We believe that everyone can make an impact, regardless of their job title or experience. We embrace continuous improvement, experiment with new ideas, and learn from both successes and mistakes. We value teamwork and collaboration in pursuit of shared goals, and above all, we strive for excellence.

👏 The Team

We are a motivated, young, and entrepreneurial team, driven by the excitement of building something meaningful.

At Nutrium, we value creativity, communication, agility, and being provocatively kind - sometimes the best way to help is by challenging others with empathy. While expertise is important, what truly sets us apart is our willingness to embrace challenges that others might avoid.
