About NOCD
At NOCD, we’re on a mission to make life-changing mental health treatment accessible to everyone who needs it. OCD is one of the most disruptive and misunderstood conditions and yet the most effective therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is still difficult for far too many people to reach. We’re here to change that at scale.
Born out of firsthand experience navigating misdiagnosis and the struggle to find proper care, NOCD has grown rapidly since our Series A and is expanding nationwide. Every line of code you ship helps real people access real treatment that can dramatically improve their lives, often within weeks, not years.
We’re building patient-facing platforms and clinical technology that directly improves outcomes, empowers therapists, and shapes the future of digital mental healthcare.
If you want to work with a team that values empathy, ownership, curiosity, and continuous learning and you want your work to have visible, human impact, NOCD is the place to do the most meaningful engineering of your career.
