What we do

Terra is an API that makes it easy for apps to connect to wearables. Currently, apps and developers in the fitness, wellness, sleep, and other health spaces are using us. Terra was launched in early 2021, and since then we’ve been growing like crazy. But this is just the beginning.

The goal and vision

Think if Spotify and Netflix create music and movies based on your heart rate, and stress levels, in real time. We want to enable apps to achieve that reality, through our super easy to use API.

Funding

To achieve our grand goal, we couldn’t have made it without the support from some incredible investors. We are lucky enough to be supported by General Catalyst, Samsung NEXT, Next Ventures and we were part of Y-Combinator’s W21 batch.

About the role At Terra, we aim to be the infrastructure for health data and products alike. In order to accomplish this, we need someone who is careful, observant and a natural hacker to ensure our system remains safe and secure for developers to use. Not only are you keeping our developers safe, your job will also be to keep end-user's sensitive data away from evil.

You will work closely with data, devops and backend engineers to:

Ensure secure transit of data across an entire system Ensure compliance across GDPR, HIPAA and SOC-2 for all the data that is handled Ensure everyone in the company adheres to secure standards Conduct regular pen tests to look for vulnerabilities Criticise and cross-correct any potential vulnerabilities on our systems (Optional) Attempt to take down one of Terra's product periodically from the outside

We currently use AWS and GCP for our services.
