Company Overview

We are more than just a provider of smart emergency watches. We are true visionaries.

As a modern healthcare start‑up from Berlin with strong investors behind us we are determined to improve the everyday lives of elderly people around the world to make it safer and more independent.

Though not recognizable as an emergency device at first glance, the Patronus watch enables users to call for help easily and immediately anytime and anywhere. This way we provide an extra dose of safety and we can save lives in the truest sense of the word. However the Patronus watch itself is only the door opener to develop numerous other groundbreaking products to improve the lives of older people, their relatives and their caregivers. Our vision is to use the enormous possibilities of modern technology to provide the best possible healthcare for our community and to make a positive impact on the healthcare system.

Sounds like the perfect job for you. We look forward to your application and to getting to know you!

At Patronus we are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strive to create a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all our employees regardless of ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability and abilities of any kind, physical appearance, social background, marital status, age or religion (or lack thereof).

Even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements we still encourage you to apply.
