Company mission
To accelerate clinical trials, so patients can benefit from new treatment sooner.
Role
Who you are
- You have 4+ years experience as a software engineer collaborating within a team
- You are product-minded: you want to understand why we are building something to figure out the best how in collaboration with product managers, designers and users
- 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 are happy to pick up technology that’s new to you
- You like a startup environment with a small team (2 PMs, 2 designers, 7 engineers) where you bring ideas and initiative to improve our engineering practices and where you have opportunities to grow in all areas that interest you
- 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
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced software engineer to build the platform powering the next generation of clinical trials
- Join a small, fast-moving team and help us scale the product to manage complex trials and bring new treatments to patients faster!
- 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 3 days a week
- 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:
- Take on responsibility for substantial new features in Citrus and facilitate related architecture and design decisions
- Shape our engineering practices and work on making the team more productive in areas such as testing, CI, deployment pipelines, cloud architecture
- Help grow the product & engineering team by interviewing candidates, onboarding new hires and possibly mentoring junior engineers
Application process
- Initial conversation with Gina, Talent Partner (30 minutes)
- Functional Interview with 2 our Engineers (60 minutes)

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.
