_Healthcare is broken. We’re fixing it - and we need your help.

Back in 2019, we launched MANUAL to tackle men’s health (starting with hair loss and sexual health). A few years later, we launched Voy with a focus on weight loss. But our ambition has always been bigger. Healthcare too often treats conditions in isolation, not people as a whole, and we’re on a mission to prove there’s a better way.

In 2025, we evolved from MANUAL into Voy, a brand built for the long game: supporting people through every stage of life, not just a single diagnosis. Today, we support over 1 million members across the UK, Germany and Brazil, delivering personalised care across weight loss, menopause, hair loss and TRT (with more categories on the way).

Ready to join us and change how healthcare feels for millions of people?

About the company

VOY is a fast growing Healthtech scale-up, aiming to be the healthcare provider that millions of people trust as their partner to a long and healthy life. Our platform allows users to quickly and safely diagnose possible conditions, get treatment and support them afterwards to live a higher quality life. To do this we are building an all in one healthcare platform which brings together world leading medical expertise and technical excellence.

We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to join our growing global team and contribute to our mission to improve our patients’ health and their lives.
