Staff Software Engineer

Our mission

All new medicines need to undergo clinical trials to show theyre safe and effective. But todays 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 patientfriendly clinical trials. Were still a young company but weve already had a big impact. Since founding the company in March 2021 weve 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.
