🍊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 100 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients, with a customer NPS of 100.
We recently raised a $55m Series B round from Balderton Capital, with support from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.
🍊About the role
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.
🍊About you
We’d like to hear from you if…
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
You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the above, we want you to apply.
🍊What you’ll focus on
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
🍊Our Engineering Values
Embrace Simplicity We strive for simplicity in architecture, design and code, even though it sometimes means settling for a boring or less-than-perfect solution.
Collaborate Transparently We openly share our work and always encourage others to ask questions, even when it creates a certain amount of overhead and may invite too many perspectives.
Take Ownership End-to-End We trust engineers to own the delivery of features from idea to production, even when it means taking time away from coding to collaborate with users, product management and design.
Assume Collective Responsibility We treat every issue as a shared concern, even though you may have to fix things that you had no part in building or you have to accept changes to your work by others.
Have Fun! We inject fun and silliness into our day-to-day work, even though it may take some time out of our day to craft the perfect meme or play darts to settle a dispute.

What We Do
Lindus Health is an anti-CRO running radically faster, more reliable clinical trials for life science pioneers.
We do this thanks to a commercial model that aligns incentives (fixed-price quotes per study, with milestone-based payments), marrying a world-class clinical operations team with our unique software platform, and access to 30 million Electronic Health Records. We handle the end-to-end execution of clinical studies, including design, patient recruitment, clinical data capture, monitoring and project management.
We have helped over 100 sponsors run entire clinical studies across the US, UK, and Europe up to 2x faster than traditional CROs
