Founding Senior Full Stack Engineer
Munich, Germany | In-Office — Full-time
-------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS ROLE
Seed-backed ($4.5M, early 2026) Munich healthtech startup building smartphone-based preventive health screening via digital biomarkers — face video, voice recordings, eye and skin imaging, typing patterns, and accelerometry. The platform assesses health status through passive inputs and integrates directly with health insurers and clinic partners, addressing a commercially validated B2B2C distribution model. The CTO brings published research in Nature and IEEE journals and has led an FDA-approved medical AI algorithm study — rare scientific depth for a founding-stage company. As a founding engineer, you hold full ownership of stack decisions from day one, with a clear path to Staff Engineer or Engineering Lead as the team scales into expanded insurer and clinic distribution.
