💡Shape the Future of Mental Health – with Cutting-Edge Tech & a Strong Team Culture

In Germany, the average wait time for therapy is 5 to 6 months - if patients even gain access to treatment at all. At Sympatient, we're changing that by building the world’s first Digital Mental Health Clinic, blending digital care with traditional therapy to create a seamless, accessible experience for patients. Our team is made up of optimistic doers and world-changers from diverse backgrounds and we’ve already launched two groundbreaking products:

• Invirto® Therapy (https://invirto.de/): The world’s first fully digital, reimbursed anxiety therapy, bringing gold-standard treatment directly into patients’ homes
• Beavivo Platform (https://beavivo.de/): A nationwide therapist network enabling treatment to begin within a week

Our Tech team plays a critical role in building the infrastructure that makes this possible - scalable, efficient and always evolving. Are you ready to join us?🚀
