Company Overview
🔥 Our mission: Innovation to patient, faster.
As regulations of the medical sector become increasingly strict in the European Union, health institutions, such as hospitals and laboratories struggle to maintain compliance due to a lack of knowledge and resources. This bears the risk of pushing small laboratories out of business and reducing the overall offering in diagnostics, ultimately resulting in a reduced health care quality for patients. At Platomics, we address this problem by creating products that tap into an existing ecosystem and make complying with a wide range of regulations fast and easy.
Candidates should be prepared to work in a high-cadence environment, collaborating with a highly qualified and international team. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of millions of individuals by ensuring that treatments and laboratory analyses—especially for rare diseases—can remain available.
We are looking for a Engineering Lead to join us on this journey.
The Role
As a Engineering Lead at Platomics, you will ensure efficient, secure, and compliant software development and operations within the team, adhering to company policies and industry best practices. You will oversee the team's involvement in discovery, design, and execution of the software development life cycle, including coding, testing, and deployment. As the Lead, you will be responsible for managing technical debt, scalability, and operability, while also contributing to prioritization and proposing improvements. You would ensure the team has the appropriate composition and skill sets, and manage talent by providing feedback, addressing obstacles, and supporting career growth. Effective communication within and beyond the team is crucial, including advocating for the team, ensuring alignment with company strategy, and resolving conflicts. The Lead also fosters a positive and collaborative culture, will be handling department decisions related to hiring and training, and will contribute to defining engineering levels and promotion processes.
As a distributed team, we aim to create opportunities for people to work to their full potential whether that is in our headquarters in Vienna, Austria or in a remote location.
The role is open to applicants based anywhere within the Europe Union.
