🍊Our mission
All new medicines need to undergo clinical trials to show they’re safe and effective. But today’s clinical trial infrastructure is stuck in the past, and the cost of developing new medicines has skyrocketed as a result. Patients have to wait longer and pay more for new treatments.
Our mission is to fix this; we use software to help innovative companies run faster, more reliable, and patient-friendly clinical trials. We’re still a young company, but we’ve already had a big impact. Since founding the company in March 2021 we’ve helped run over 80 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients, with a customer NPS of 100.
We recently raised a $18m Series A round from some great investors including Creandum, Peter Thiel and Firstminute to power the next stage of our growth.
🍊About the role
Lindus Health is looking for an Engineering Manager for the team building the platform for the next generation of clinical trials. Join us as our first dedicated EM to scale the team and the product, and bring new treatments to patients faster! This role is ideal for an early-to-mid career engineering leader who wants to level up to a director or VP as we grow.
This is an onsite role in London with a flexible (hybrid) office arrangement. After an initial onboarding period full-time at our headquarters (near London Bridge) we expect you to be in the office at least 2 days a week. All of your team regularly gets together in the office.
