• Own delivery of mobile software used in conjunction with medical hardware and cloud backends
• Drive collaboration across cyber security, systems, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory teams
• Act as the key technical and delivery interface with external partners and suppliers

• Confidence working in complex multi-disciplinary environments
• Comfortable operating with autonomy, ownership, and accountability
• Previous scale‑up or rapid-growth environment experience

Working at ViCentra means joining a team defined by:
