Chief Technology Officer

About Foodsmart Foodsmart is the leading telenutrition and foodcare platform, serving more than 3 million members across employer-sponsored health plans, Medicaid managed care organizations, Medicare Advantage plans, and commercial insurers. Backed by a national network of registered dietitians, the platform pairs personalized nutrition care with a benefits marketplace that drives measurable, lasting health outcomes. In 2024, TPG's The Rise Fund invested $200M into Foodsmart. We are in a high-growth phase where technology is a direct driver of commercial results, member experience, and clinical impact. Our published outcomes include 42% of food-insecure members becoming food-secure within six months, meaningful weight loss and HbA1c improvement at 24 months, and an NPS of 86.   The Opportunity This is a hands-on CTO role for a leader who stays close to the work and builds alongside the team. We are building a focused, fast-moving engineering organization at a moment when the business needs technology to move faster, ship higher-quality products, and translate directly into commercial, clinical, and member value. We recently moved to a pod-based operating model and brought on a strong Chief Product Officer who will be the CTO's closest counterpart in building and shipping products.   Over the past year we have invested in a strong foundational and data layer, and we have stood up a pod-based operating model that has meaningfully accelerated our product development lifecycle. The next CTO inherits an infrastructure and a working delivery model, and a clear runway to build on it and ship products that matter, rather than starting from scratch.   We run an engineering organization across a US-based team and a newly deployed offshore team in India. A core part of the CTO's mandate is to develop the long-range plan for domestic and offshore staffing, shaping how and where the organization grows as we scale.   This is also a rare moment to shape what a transformative consumer-driven healthcare business can do with AI. We are looking for someone energized by the opportunity to use AI not only to accelerate how we build, but to create entirely new service offerings and new forms of value for members and partners. Beyond product, this CTO will be a leader in a broad organizational transformation toward becoming a truly AI-enabled company, applying the technology across how the whole business operates. Foodsmart exists to bring foodcare to underserved populations and to take on some of the country's hardest problems: access to affordable, healthy food and changing behaviors to support sustainably healthier lives. The right leader is genuinely motivated by that mission and believes technology is how we deliver on it at scale.   We are looking for a builder: someone with a real fire in the belly, who loves being close to the work, has a strong bias for action, and holds themselves and their team to a high standard. This person thinks about technology in terms of the outcomes it produces and brings the urgency of a startup to a company at scale.
