Do you want to do something that serves a purpose, that actually improves someone’s life and creates value? We are looking for an empathic and driven Senior Software Developer to join our team, come join us!
Why is there a need for Elsa’s services and your contribution?
Because there is no individualised treatment support for people living with chronic disease to optimise their quality of life based on scientific evidence.
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.

- At least 3 years of experience with K8s, React or React Native.
- Worked at a startup or used agile development processes.
- A strong desire to coach, mentor and empower your team members.
It would be amazing if you have
- Scaled a popular app in terms of number of users but also faster iteration and experimentation.
- Used Pandas or Jupyter.
- Built data analytics stacks using ELT.
- Developed medical devices, SaMD or worked in regulated domains.

Keywords: TypeScript, react-native, CK8s, dbt.
Working at Elsa

At Elsa 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, and make sure we care about each other and our users. Our users are also at the center of everything that we do and help us to co-create Elsa with our other collaborators.
As 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 left to be discovered. Exploring is by nature uncertain and unpredictable but also 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
