About the Company

Quit Genius is a multi-award-winning mobile therapy program to help smokers quit for good. We are backed by some of the most prestigious investors in San Francisco and London including: Y Combinator and Village Global (backed by Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates).

Our team is made up of doctors, designers and engineers who have a passion to make a positive impact on the lives of people. We're a team of lifelong learners - we care about challenging and improving each other as well as our product. We constantly experiment to discover what makes our users tick, and we take a data-driven approach to product development. We want to work with like-minded people who care about devoting their time to building products that can have a real impact on the lives of millions of people around the world.

At Quit Genius, our mission is to create a personalised virtual therapy platform that will not just help people quit smoking but also manage other addictions, mental health conditions and live a healthier lifestyle.
