Company Overview:Sapyen is a venture-backed HealthTech company pioneering the world’s most accurate, affordable, and convenient at-home male fertility test.Why?Pregnancy testing used to be complex, costly, and required a visit to the clinic. Then came the over-the-counter pregnancy test—a breakthrough that reduced costs, ensured accuracy, and made answers available to women anywhere. It transformed healthcare, empowering decisions at life’s critical moments.Today, around 70% of healthcare decisions rely on diagnostic testing, according to the WHO. Access to these tests can shape treatment, impact futures, and alter life’s course.Sapyen is bringing this same revolution to male fertility. Our vision is straightforward: make male fertility testing as accessible as a pregnancy test. We’re creating a world where men can understand their reproductive health with accuracy, affordability, and convenience—no lab visits, no barriers, just answers when they’re needed most.Proof$45.5M in exclusive distribution agreements with the world’s largest IVF clinics secured within 12 monthsStocked in 180+ pharmacies as the first-ever clinical-grade male fertility test to reach shelves anywhere in the worldNamed Australia’s Most Innovative Healthcare Company 2024 by the Australian Financial Review2 pending patents extending sperm viability from 1 hour to 3 days, ensuring accurate result generationBacked by leading global venture funds across Singapore, New Zealand, and AustraliaJob Description:You will lead the development of Sapyen’s digital infrastructure, with a primary focus on frontend and product engineering.
