Founding Tech Lead (Dual Use Defence & Health-tech) - Tricorder

Descripción del puesto

Build the operating system for healthcare beyond the hospital Most healthcare technology assumes a hospital: reliable power, connectivity, a data centre down the corridor and a clinician at a desk. Care increasingly happens somewhere else - in the field, in transit, in remote and contested environments, and in the critical minutes before a patient ever reaches a ward. Tricorder is building the deployable clinical infrastructure for that world: a rugged, self-contained hardware and software platform for clinical teams to capture, monitor and act on patient data anywhere, even when networking or the grid can't be relied on. We are building this from scratch inside Founders Factory's studio, with a dedicated pre-seed investment, hands-on studio support across product, design, talent and growth, and a six-month build programme to get from concept to a fundable, in-market product. This venture has secured a major European industrial partner to provide hardware, sandbox testing, RnD capabilities. The founding CEO is already in place. We are now looking for the technical other half of the founding team. The role You will be the founding Tech Lead. This is a builder's role before it becomes a management role. In the early studio days you will be hands-on across hardware and software, making pragmatic architectural calls under real uncertainty, and turning a concept and early customer conversations into a working, demonstrable product. You'll work hand in hand with the founder & CEO on product direction, pilot deployments, and technical documentation for future funding rounds. You will be responsible for defining the initial technology stack and building the core engineering team. What you'll own You will have end-to-end responsibility for: System Integration: Working with integrated sensing, edge computing, and building out data synchronization layers to complete an OS. Architectural Design: Building resilient systems for environments with intermittent connectivity and
