Disclaimer, I’m a software engineer for Ritual. Antidotally, I recently started taking a probiotic and have had great improvements in digestive health. I also have a chronic digestive disease. Ritual recently launched a probiotic which includes the two most studied strains, LGG and BB-12. Our formulation and technology is very much driven by science. Maybe it’s right for you. https://ritual.com/products/synbiotic-plus-for-gut-health https://ritual.com/products/synbiotic-plus-for-gut-health

Off-topic: Please don't take this the wrong way. What sorts of engineering does an engineer at Ritual do? From an outside perspective it's just a website selling healthcare products. Is there some sort of big data driven approach to developing the products?

  None taken and thanks for asking! I'll speak generally about this, at some point eCommerce sites will out grow what Shopify/etc offers. They need better integration with their partners and better control of their data. We rely on data to help measure the outcomes of decisions we make. This is not just engineering, but the whole company. The engineering side operates very much like any other software startup where we iterate on features that will help us grow and support our existing customers. A fun example is that we did not have the concept of a cart at the very beginning. You don't need a cart when you only have one product, so why spend development time building that? My most recent work has been performance because that was worth spending time on now. Before that, I worked on allowing customers to update their subscriptions via an email magic link for the launch of Synbiotic+ (the probiotic). We then look at our data to see how effective our efforts were in supporting the hypothesis which initially kicked off the work. Hope that helps!
