Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.

Minimum Qualifications · BSc or MSc degree within law, medicine, pharmacy, engineering, or another relevant scientific discipline; or equivalent professional experience. · At least 3 years of professional experience in regulatory affairs or quality management for medical devices. · Working knowledge of EU Regulation 2017/745 (MDR), FDA 21 CFR (including QSR), UK MDR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601-1 series, IEC 62304, and other applicable standards. · Experience with regulatory submissions and direct communication with authorities and Notified Bodies across international markets. · Excellent analytical skills, able to interpret complex regulatory requirements and provide risk-based, practical recommendations. · Strong writing and communication skills; able to give clear direction to development teams and engage credibly with external stakeholders. · Highly self-motivated; able to manage multiple workstreams independently and with minimal supervision. · Fluent in English (oral and written). Preferred: · Experience with active devices, software as a medical device, and dermatology-adjacent medical devices. · Proficiency in Swedish. · Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day work, particularly tools such as Claude and Microsoft Copilot, to support research, drafting, and operational efficiency. · Experience with tools such as Visual Studio Code and Azure DevOps.
