• Communicate clearly, challenge constructively, and offer smart alternatives
• Collaborate across engineering, design, and product with confidence

• Bring a continuous improvement mindset to both product and process

• Fully remote (UK-based)

• Purpose-driven Healthtech environment
• A working environment built on health and wellbeing, allowing you to be the best version of you
