💡 Our mission: Bring Innovation to patients, faster.

Strict new European Union medical regulations are putting healthcare manufacturers and laboratories at risk. Many lack the knowledge and resources to stay compliant—threatening closures, limiting diagnostic options, and ultimately compromising the quality of care patients receive.

This is where Platomics steps in. We are connecting and synchronizing Healthcare to Improve Patient Life by building innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing healthcare ecosystems, turning complex regulatory compliance into a fast, straightforward process.

Candidates should be prepared to work in a fast-paced environment, collaborating with a dynamic team from across Europe.

We are seeking a VP of Engineering to join this mission.

📍We are a distributed team and aim to create opportunities for people to come together in person. Our headquarters are in Vienna, Austria and while we are open to remote candidates, presence in Vienna is highly preferred.
