What we do
At Vara, we believe better breast cancer detection should be a standard offering for every woman, everywhere. Our AI-powered software platform, developed in close collaboration with radiologists in Germany, leads to higher cancer detection, lower false positive rate and alleviates the repetitive workload involved in routine screening – proven in the largest prospective study in healthcare to date with ~500,000 participating women.
Our mission is to make breast cancer screening more effective, measurable, and accessible. By enhancing early detection and ensuring outcomes backed by clinical evidence, we’re proud to contribute to national efforts focused on improving women’s health.
Founded in 2018 as the first company to emerge from Europe’s leading AI venture studio, Merantix, Vara has grown into an international team of 25 driven professionals. Our diverse team brings together entrepreneurs, healthcare experts, and technology innovators united by a common goal: transforming breast cancer screening for the better.

Your role
As Technical Product Manager (f/md), you will work closely with our team of engineers, Head of Software Development, and Product Design Lead to shape and deliver impactful medical-grade software products. Reporting to the Head of Product, you will translate business needs into actionable initiatives while collaborating with Business Development and Operations to ensure alignment across strategy, design, execution, and successful deployment in production environments.
At Vara, user value is only created once the product is successfully running in real clinical workflows. This means you will not only drive discovery and development, but also follow features and improvements through rollout, integration with third-party systems, and real-world usage. You will work closely with the Ops team and customers to understand deployment constraints, data quality challenges, and integration dependencies, and factor these realities into product decisions and prioritization.
Your contributions at Vara will power life-saving products that users love and that drive our mission forward.
