Software Engineer

Scarlet's mission is to hasten the transition to universally accessible healthcare. We deliver on this mission by enabling innovators to bring cutting-edge software and AI to the healthcare market safely and quickly. We're regulated by the UK Government and European Commission to do so.

Our certification process is optimised for software and AI, facilitating a more efficient time to market, and the frequent releases needed to build great software. This ensures patients safely get the most up-to-date versions of life-changing technology.

Come help us bring the next generation of healthcare to the people who need it.

Our challenges

Product and engineering challenges go hand in hand at Scarlet. We know our mission can only be accomplished if we:

• Build products and services that our customers love.
• Streamline and accelerate complex regulatory processes without sacrificing quality.
• Ensure that we always conduct excellent safety assessments of our customers’ products.
• Continuously ship great functionality at a high cadence - and have fun while doing it.
• Build and maintain a tech stack that embraces the complex domain in which we work.

Our engineering problems are plenty and we have chosen Clojure as the tool to solve them.

The team

The team is everything at Scarlet and we aspire to shape and nurture a team where every team member:

• Really cares about our customers.
• Works cross-functionally with engineers, product managers, designers, regulatory experts, and other stakeholders.
• Collaborates on solving hard, important, real-world problems.
• Helps bring out the best in each other and support each other’s growth.
• Brings a diverse set of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives.
• Feels that what we do day-to-day is deeply meaningful.

The engineering team today consists of: Ferdinand, Iván, Jacob, Lukas and Niclas. We all have our fair share of experience working with startups, open source and various problem spaces.

We wish to expand the team with ~3 more team members that can balance our strengths and weaknesses and help Scarlet build fantastic products.

We’re looking for ambitious teammates who have at least a few years of experience, have an insatiable hunger to learn, and want to do the most important work of their career!

How we work

Our ways of working are guided by a desire to perform at the highest level and do great work.

• Flexible working: Remote-first with no fixed hours or vacation tracking.
• Low/no scheduled meetings: Keep meetings to a minimum—no daily stand-ups or agile ceremonies.
• Asynchronous collaboration: Have rich async discussions and flexible 1:1s as needed.
• High trust and autonomy: Everyone solves problems; we are responsible for our choices and communicating them with our teammates.
• Getting together: We meet a minimum of twice a year for a week at our offices in London.
