Elsa Science is growing and we need more leaders in our vibrant and diverse tech team!

Who we are and what we believe

Elsa was founded to change the fact that there is no science-based, individualised treatment support for people living with chronic disease to optimise their quality of life.

Our goal is to be a motivational and educational digital platform that brings individuals, families, health care providers, medical companies and scientists together through seamless data sharing and powerful communication for a greater good: to detect and manage the illness, improve healthcare and empower the individual to reach a new normal and live life to its fullest.

What you'll do

As a tech lead/principal engineer you will be a part of our 15 people (and growing) product team and responsible for technical choices and architecture decisions as well as their implementation in the Elsa app and systems.

On a day-to-day basis, you will:

• collaborate with different stake-holders to set short and mid-term technical strategy in your areas of expertise 
• work hands-on in the area where you thrive best and feel that you contribute most value - write JavaScript/TypeScript or Python code, build data pipelines, contribute to better security and/or data privacy, improve devops procedures...
• contribute your skills, experience and creativity to form (and, when needed, question) strategic discussions, team building activities and innovative work

Elsa is growing and we expect that so will you :-)

Who you are

You probably have:

• a calling to impact people's lives for the better
• broad and deep experience working as a software developer and either system architect, data engineer/scientist, QA lead, devops/secops or another area relevant for Elsa
• experience with and affinity for understanding complex systems, communicating with different stake-holders and making strategic choices
• hands-on experience with React or React Native and K8s
• worked at a startup or used agile development processes in dynamic environments
• willingness to coach, mentor and empower your team members

It is great if you have:

• scaled teams and adapted agile methodologies to different kinds of teams and organisations
• experience with or interest in security, data privacy, ETL pipelines or similar
• worked in regulated domains, with quality management systems or med tech/health tech

You need to be:

• fluent in English
• a team-player who thrives in dynamic working environment and a growing team

How we work

At Elsa Science we strive to make an impact on the world and to improve people’s lives. In order to do so, we place importance on our individual mental and physical health, which includes both caring about each other and our users. Our users are also at the center of everything that we do and we are co-creating Elsa in dialog with them and our other collaborators.

As the second part our name might reveal, we love science and facts! We get just as excited about what’s already been discovered about health and lifestyle habits as we do about all the opportunities yet to be discovered. Exploring is by nature uncertain and unpredictable, as well as exciting and fun, and that's also the nature of being part of Elsa! 

I have had jobs in the past where the end result does not feel really meaningful. But I want to do something that serves a purpose, that actually improves someone’s life and creates value beyond my technical bubble. As a result, my life improves knowing that I help others. - Johan, developer

All my colleagues really care about each other and it has a spillover effect on how we approach and treat our users. It feels really refreshing. - Monique, developer
