JawBuddy is a CE-marked medical product for digital self-therapy of bruxism and TMJ disorders (CMD). The app combines augmented reality with medical algorithms to guide users through targeted jaw, neck, and posture exercises — with precise feedback on every movement.
Built by our team in Leipzig, JawBuddy has 2,000+ active users, our first health insurance partnerships are ready to launch, and we are currently closing our pre-seed round with VCs and experienced business angels. Now we are turning a working medical product into a growing company — that is what this role is for.
Aufgaben
You work directly with the founders as their operational right hand, with real responsibility from week one. You own 2–3 projects at a time and share your results directly with the founders every week.
- Drive the development of our next MVP end-to-end — partner scouting, selection, and steering
- Build and run the operational processes behind our health insurance go-lives
- Help prepare our next financing round: data room, investor pipeline, and materials
- Turn open questions into structured recommendations the team can act on that week
Qualifikation
Must-haves:
- Enrolled as a student, with 18–20 hours/week available during the semester
- German (B2 or above) plus strong written English - our partner and insurance work is German-market
- Structured, self-directed working style: you break fuzzy problems into plans and close loops unprompted
- Reliable coordination of external partners: follow-ups, deadlines, and early flags instead of surprises
Nice to have (none of these are required - if the must-haves fit, please apply):
- First exposure to startups, consulting, venture building, or healthcare
- No-code, spreadsheet, or light analytics skills (e.g. Notion, Zapier, Airtable)
- Curiosity about how startup fundraising works - you will learn the rest here
Benefits
- €15–19/hour, remote-first, flexible around lectures and exam phases
- Real ownership with weekly founder feedback - across product, operations, and a live financing round
- A concrete path: working students who excel here are our first choice for full-time roles post-fundraise
Apply with your CV and 5–10 sentences on a project you drove end-to-end — the goal, what you did, and the outcome. No cover letter needed. We review applications on a rolling basis and reply to everyone within 5 business days. First step is a 30-minute video call with one of the founders.
Wir glauben, dass Heilung selbstbestimmt passieren sollte. Aber nie allein.
JawBuddy ist die erste personalisierte App zur digitalen Selbsttherapie bei Bruxismus und CMD. Als CE-gekennzeichnetes Medizinprodukt kombiniert die App Augmented Reality mit medizinischen Algorithmen: Sie leitet Patienten präzise durch jede Bewegung von Kiefer, Nacken und Körperhaltung – wie ein Therapeut vor Ort.
