Scrum Master

Overview

Company Overview

Our mission: Innovation to patient, faster.

As regulations of the medical sector become increasingly strict in the European Union, health institutions, such as hospitals and laboratories struggle to maintain compliance due to a lack of knowledge and resources. This bears the risk of pushing small laboratories out of business and reducing the overall offering in diagnostics, ultimately resulting in a reduced health care quality for patients. At Platomics, we address this problem by creating products that tap into an existing ecosystem and make complying with a wide range of regulations fast and easy.

Candidates should be prepared to work in a high-cadence environment, collaborating with a highly qualified and international team. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of millions of individuals by ensuring that treatments and laboratory analyses—especially for rare diseases—can remain available.

We are looking for a Scrum Master to join us on this journey.

 Its a marathon, not a sprint

We create a work environment that keeps all team members healthy physically and psychologically in the long term. While we work hard, we respect boundaries and take breaks to recharge.

 Radical candour & psychological safety

We say what we think and care about each other. We appreciate feedback because this is what lets us grow. We create an environment where every opinion gets heard and valued.

 We reject mediocrity

We deliver our best work. We care about the results we deliver and own our mistakes. We take calculated risks and ship fast – but we are not sloppy.

 Ideas over hierarchy

Facts and arguments win, not job titles.
