Job description
What we do

Better breast cancer screening should be a universal offering to every woman in the world. Vara’s AI-powered software platform, created with screening radiologists in Germany, mitigates much of the human subjectivity associated with reading mammography results—and reduces the repetitive work screening physicians are routinely subjected to—we’re making breast cancer screening more effective, more measurable, and more accessible for everyone, everywhere. By democratising access to early screening around the world, we deliver measurable impact backed by clinical evidence. We are partnering globally, to deliver breast cancer screening where it is needed most.

As the first company from Europe’s leading AI venture studio Merantix, Vara has grown since 2018 to become a 50-member international team. Our diverse team consists of highly motivated and ambitious entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, and technology experts.

Your role
You want to work on something with a purpose and make healthcare more safe and efficient? We are striving to bring innovation to the healthcare industry, aiming towards safer and more efficient cancer screening workflows.

We are looking for a Clojure(Script) Engineer. You will be working on our product team, building a platform to securely view and annotate X-Rays, MRIs, and CT-scans. Our application is written in full-stack Clojure (Clojure for the backend, ClojureScript for the frontend), and our tech stack also includes Postgres and Docker.

We define ourselves by a culture of friendship and ownership. We're looking for capable, driven, and thoughtful people who think outside the box and add to our vision. Our hierarchy is flat and communication direct, which means that we operate and learn fast, as a team.
