Our hiring philosophy

We hire people who build.

We are looking for value-aligned people across many disciplines: scientists, engineers, designers, writers and operators who want their work to reach patients.

We hire for skill, curiosity and character. Wherever you studied and whatever your background, if you can build and you care about outcomes, we want to see your work.

What we offer

A small team with a big job.

01

Ship things people actually use

OutEMReach, Pintra, LabiQuest and MPDetect all began as a problem a lab scientist saw first-hand. You will work on products that reach patients, not slide decks.

02

Ownership, early

Small team, clear ownership. You will lead pieces of work long before a bigger organisation would let you.

03

Eleven disciplines, one team

Engineers, scientists, designers and writers build side by side, so you learn the whole product and not just your lane.

04

Honest feedback

Regular check-ins and reviews with people who have built and shipped health technology.

05

Proof in the field

Outreaches with 17+ partner institutions put your work in front of real patients and real feedback.
