With our solutions, we want to improve our patient's health in simple and effective ways in order to allow them to lead a more fulfilled life and to prevent other diseases in the future.

Our technology platform is at the core of our mission as it allows us to run diagnoses, provide care and deliver products. If you are interested in using technology to change lives, this is the job you are looking for.

Your mission
- You are responsible for transforming our humble MVP into a scalable platform that allows us to achieve high growth. You approach this with a step-by-step process in which you don’t lose sight of stability and economics of our existing business.
- You are building and leading our IT Teams (Frontend, Backend, Mobile) and are responsible for their happiness, productivity and personal development.
- You are part of the hiring process and make key decisions for the further growth of the tech teams.
- You make important, strategic decisions for our tech stack.

- You have over 5 years of job experience in software engineering with an emphasis on backend development and web technologies.
Leadership and people management are two of your strengths. You are experienced in reviewing other people's code and are able to give constructive feedback.
- You have practical experience with planning and implementing systems architecture and defining flexible APIs. Ideally, you have done this in an environment that required scalability for high traffic numbers and large numbers of simultaneous users.
- You are a great communicator and like to collaborate with teams outside of your own department.
- You like to keep an overview of the latest developments in web technologies (for example new cloud infrastructure products, containerization, micro-services, etc.) and can use this to our advantage by quickly being able to develop modern and efficient solutions for the problems we are facing. Even if you have a stack that you personally prefer to use, you still know how to find and use the best tool for the job.
- You have the highest quality standards and expect the same from your peers at work. You never miss out on a single detail and you are convinced that this approach yields the best results. You can prove your eye for detail by placing the word “abdominal massage” in your CV.
- You are fluent in English. German language proficiency is a big plus.
