Samphire Neuroscience is a London-based women’s lifestyle neurotechnology company, developing medical grade hardware and software solutions for women’s health needs with a mission to change the lives of historically underserved communities by delivering pioneering neurotechnology and evidence-based solutions.
There’s a chronic lack of research, investment and solutions in the field of women’s health, and we are creating a brand new category of women’s health solutions with a vision to lead the way in advancing neuroscientific solutions for a healthier world.
We are now looking for a mid/senior software engineer to join our team, and we are excited to work with candidates from a diversity of backgrounds.
Track record: You have experience in building backend systems from scratch. Typical qualifications may involve:
Bonus points for experience in:
Ownership and Autonomy: You’d join our existing 2-person software team and would have loads of influence over the eventual direction of the backend architecture of the product. We value leadership abilities and owning product related decisions.
Collaborator: You are comfortable working with other developers and communicating your ideas and choices. You enjoy sharing your experience and knowledge with younger engineers.
Security-focused: Working in a medical device company means dealing with sensitive patient data and complying with industry standards. You care about our users, their data and privacy, and are confident and comfortable in challenging and constantly improving our architecture against any threats.
Practical: You understand that we’re working to make our product available to millions of people around the world, so quality matters - think of stability, scalability, and effectiveness.
Passionate: You want to work on meaningful products that will not only bring forward the first solution to women’s health issues that had been ignored in the past, but also define a category as the first women’s neurotechnology product, and further research on women’s wellness.
We are currently in the final stages of regulatory review for our first medical device, Nettle. This wearable is controlled by a mobile application (iOS/Android), and our users’ primary interaction with the product will be through their phones. We strive for a flawless user experience.
In this role you will work very closely with our hardware, science, commercial, logistics and community/marketing team members to bring our product to commercial release, and beyond.
Your individual role, ultimately, will be your own, as you’ll be joining a small and inspired team so we will work together to make sure it works for you just as it does for us. We’re very open to remote work within Europe (please inquire about exceptions) but we provide a possibility to flexibly work from an office in the heart of London for UK residents. We are open to both part-time or full-time roles based on experience and availability. You would be one of the early employees on a team of under 10, with potential to bring lots of ownership and direction to the team’s work.
We are open to applications from people of all backgrounds and especially welcome those from backgrounds under-represented in STEM and tech.
