We’re a small, bold team setting a new standard in fertility care —writing the playbook on diagnostics, patient experience, and male fertility solutions. Here, you won’t just follow; you’ll define how we operate. We’re audacious problem-solvers. Despite male-factor issues contributing to 50% of fertility challenges, there hasn’t been a truly accurate, affordable, and convenient way to test male fertility. While 61% of men are hesitant to seek care due to feelings of emasculation, and many others lack timely, affordable access, we’re changing that. At Sapyen, your work will have a genuine, measurable impact. And we’ll invest in you. Excellence drives us, and we’re committed to building your career in a way that excites you. We’ll support you with ongoing learning and development, private health insurance reimbursements, and access to professional coaching. If you deliver, we’ll back you even further.

What it’s like to work here Excellence is the Baseline: As a lean, high-impact team, we move quickly, adapt on the fly, and are driven by results. Priorities shift, challenges arise, and rapid iteration is the norm. Success here requires resilience, agility, and a relentless focus on impact. Creating the Playbook as We Go: We’re building something new and transformative. This demands constant problem-solving, the ability to pivot when needed, and an unwavering commitment to refining our product as we grow. If you thrive on tackling the unknown and bringing ideas to life, this role will push you to new heights. True Autonomy and Ownership: At Sapyen, you’ll have a level of ownership that’s rare. Many projects will start as rough ideas needing definition, strategy, and execution—driven by you. This role calls for self-direction, decisive action, and the confidence to lead where paths aren’t clearly defined.
