Role
Who you are
- You have at least 6 years of experience as a software engineer. This includes at least 1 year in a role that could be characterised as “senior+” - a role where you acted as a tech lead for a project with multiple engineers or where you demonstrated impact across multiple teams or functions
- You are comfortable working across a stack that includes frontend (TypeScript/React), backend (Python/Django/Postgres) and infrastructure (AWS). You don’t necessarily have hands-on experience with all pieces of our stack but want to go deep in at least one area and are happy to pick up technology that’s new to you
- You are product-minded: you want to understand why we are building something to figure out the best how in collaboration with product managers, trial managers and users
- You are an excellent listener and communicator who can build consensus, drive decisions and resolve conflicts. You write clearly and know when to deploy written artefacts to move teams and projects along
- You like a startup environment where you have lots of autonomy and opportunities to grow your skills. You want to have a major impact on architecture and engineering practices as we grow from a small team (2 PMs, 2 designers, 7 engineers) to a large organisation (we are hiring for 3 additional engineers right now!)
- You have high agency and a bias for action
- You are passionate and curious about our mission; changing how the healthcare industry operates and how new health treatments are developed
- You want to learn what life is like at a high-growth, mission-driven VC funded startup
- You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the above, we want you to apply
What the job involves
- In your first month:
- Learn about clinical trials and the problems we are trying to solve through our onboarding training and chats with people across the company
- Collaborate with the product team on a starter project and make your first commits
- Become familiar with the core components of our stack (React, TypeScript, Django, Python, Postgres, Amazon ECS)
- In your first 3 months
- Become a part of the regular product development cycle: take ownership of a feature in Citrus, our trial delivery platform, seeing it through end-to-end from idea to deployment in collaboration with our PMs, designers and other engineers
- Get close to users, observe the product being used in real trials and support the team in responding to feature requests and bug reports
- Contribute actively to the team’s processes and rituals, such as product planning, retrospectives, release management and backlog grooming
- Within your first year:
- Build relationships with senior peers in other functions (such as clinical operations and commercial) to strengthen alignment across the company
- Gain a deep understanding of product and business needs, allowing you to support the CTO & VP Product in setting product direction
- Take on technical leadership for a major product area
- Facilitate long-term architecture and design decisions with the whole engineering team
- Evolve engineering practices and work on making the team more productive in areas such as testing, CI, deployment pipelines, cloud infrastructure
- Help grow the product & engineering team by interviewing candidates, onboarding new hires and mentoring other engineers
Application process
- Initial conversation with Gina, Talent Partner (30 minutes)
- Functional Interview with 2 our Engineers (60 minutes)
- Culture and values interview with one of our Co-Founders, Meri or Michael and another team member (30 minutes)
- We try to arrange for at-least one interview to be in-person so you can see our office and meet more of the team

Our take
Traditional clinical research companies are often inefficient and rely upon pen and paper, even for the UK COVID-19 vaccine trial, one of the best-funded trials in history. In addition, the cost of conducting clinical trials has skyrocketed over the last decade. This stifles innovation and means fewer new treatments for patients.
In response to these challenges, Lindus Health was established with the mission to simplify patient participation in research and expedite the development of novel treatments. On a mission to change how trials are conducted in order to provide faster, safer clinical trials on behalf of companies developing new treatments, and lowering the barriers to participation for patients.
Since launching in 2021, Lindus Health has actively connected patients with clinical trials across diverse domains, encompassing areas such as type 2 diabetes, COVID-19 diagnostics, and mental health. Bolstered by several successful funding rounds, the company is poised to facilitate end-to-end clinical trials and research sponsors with high-quality data. Alongside this growth, Lindus is expanding its workforce. This strategic approach underscores its commitment to reshaping the landscape of clinical research for the betterment of patients and the advancement of medical science.
