CTO — BraidStent

Lead the technical build of a first-in-class medical device, from spin-off to CE Mark.

BraidStent is a biodegradable ureteral stent developed at IRYCIS (Instituto Ramón y Cajal, Madrid), one of Spain's leading biomedical research institutes, under the scientific leadership of Dr. Federico Soria. Backed by over a decade of research and a strong publication record, the technology addresses a well-documented unmet need in one of the most common urological procedures worldwide. Currently, the project is part of The Collider's Venture Building programme, with spin-off incorporation planned for late 2026.

We're looking for a hands-on CTO to join the founding team and take the technology from validated science to a scalable, regulatory-compliant product.

Current founding team:
- Szilvia Endrenyi, CEO and experienced founder in Medical Devices.
- Dr. Federico Soria, CSO: KOL in ureteral stents and inventor of the technology.

Location:
Europe, ideally Madrid or Barcelona. Hybrid/remote, with regular travel to manufacturing and testing partners.
