Virtual substance-use care platform with digital tools, counseling, and medication management
Pelago operates a telemedicine platform for alcohol, tobacco, opioid, and cannabis treatment, built on AWS Lambda, Node.js, and React Native with a GraphQL layer. The tech stack reflects a serverless, event-driven architecture under active evolution—paired with hiring velocity skewed toward engineering (7 roles) and healthcare clinical staff (5 roles)—indicating aggressive scaling of both product infrastructure and care delivery capacity. Active projects around AI-native programs and care-journey optimization suggest the company is moving beyond digital tools into AI-assisted clinical workflows.

Pelago provides virtual, evidence-based substance-use treatment combining digital therapeutics, live counseling, and medication-assisted treatment, with same-day nationwide access. The company sells to employers and health plans as a benefit to reduce high-cost medical claims tied to addiction and substance use. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, the company operates across the United States and United Kingdom, with published clinical and cost-outcome data backing its model. The platform integrates three core modalities—self-directed digital care, synchronous counseling, and pharmaceutical intervention—in a single patient journey.
Pelago's stack centers on AWS (Lambda, SNS, SQS, RDS, Cognito, API Gateway), Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, React (web), React Native (mobile), GraphQL, and Python. Mobile apps are built with Expo, Swift, and Kotlin for cross-platform reach.
Active projects include serverless AWS architecture evolution, event-driven system design, AI-native product development for mental and behavioral health, real-time data integration, and care-initiation journey optimization to improve member acquisition and clinician efficiency.
