About Milltons

Milltons is a medical research company based in Cambridge Science Park, United Kingdom. We discover new therapeutic mechanisms for painful and life-threatening chronic illnesses that are badly resolved with an unnecessary burden on the patients. Today we are conducting research in Diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis, Neurodegeneration and Vision Loss. For more information, please visit www.milltons.com

Our research and development process puts the patient first, in a literal manner. We do not patent our findings. We run a value-based model, allowing us to discover far better solutions in record time as we have no limitations of patentability, feasibility, or scalability. We are able to detect and treat Diabetic Retinopathy ten years earlier than mainstream technology.

Our recent work in Cystic Fibrosis has allowed us to reduce daily digestive enzymes intake of CF patients by 81% and reduction in painful symptoms by 50%. Our endgame is to:

• Invert the R&D process so that it is initiated and orchestrated by patient and researcher only.
• Create the largest database of chronic patients actively involved in research.
• Create a massive international environment where the success of medical technologies is based exclusively on their effectiveness rather than their patent or marketing budget.

Immediate priorities include:

• Implementing Identity and Access Management protocols (patient, researcher, admin etc).
• Integrate anonymity into the authentication database.
• Developing automated deployment processes to Google Cloud
• Fine-tuning the user experience.
• Developing digital versions of vision tests.
• Highly specialized tasks can be outsourced, and supervised and integrated by you.

Requirements:

• JavaScript 
• NodeJS
• Relational Databases

Nice to Have:

• Strapi
• NuxtJS
• VueJS
• Google Cloud Platform and Netlify

Compensation:

• Salary based on experience, talent and motivation. Equity in the company.

Location:

• Cambridge. Partial remote work.
