Come work with us!

Who are we?

We have developed the world’s first personal digestive tracker, AIRE. Since we graduated from HAX (the world's first and most prolific hardware accelerator) in 2016, AIRE has gained international attention for its potential to improve quality of life for the many people who suffer from digestive issues. We’ve been extremely fortunate to have gained the support of thousands of pre-order backers from all around the world already. Every person on our small team has a significant role to play in our success, which means there’s real potential for our employees to grow as FoodMarble grows.
