About LumiMeds
LumiMeds is a fast-growing U.S.-based telehealth startup focused on weight management and long-term metabolic health. We are building the next generation of e-commerce and clinical infrastructure from the ground up.
As an early-stage company, we move quickly, operate with limited layers, and expect high ownership from every team member. There is no bureaucracy here — decisions happen fast, priorities evolve, and builders thrive.
We are a remote-first, globally distributed team that values clarity, accountability, and people who take initiative rather than wait for direction.

- Strong understanding of evidence-based weight management and metabolic health
Preferred Experience
- Prior telehealth experience
- Experience treating obesity, metabolic syndrome, or GLP-1–based therapies
- Comfortable working within structured, compliance-forward telehealth workflows
What We Offer
- Fully remote, flexible scheduling
- Administrative and operational support
- Modern EMR and streamlined clinical workflows
- Competitive per-visit or contract-based compensation
- Opportunity to help shape a physician-led telehealth PC group
