Our mission
About This Role
We’re a Germany-based startup building a forward-thinking, globally connected team. This role is offered through an Employer of Record (EOR) provider, ensuring full local compliance and benefits aligned with Indian standards.
Initially, the position is fully remote, with access to coworking options. Looking ahead to late 2026, we plan to expand our presence in India. We're looking for someone excited to grow with us — not just in code, but in culture. You’ll play an active role in shaping our future location, with full support from our core team — including a team member relocating to India to help build that foundation with you.
This role is ideal for someone who’s not only technically strong but eager to take ownership, help shape a new chapter, and be a bridge between teams. If you're looking for more than “just a remote job,” this might be for you.
Your focus will be on our AnyHand – a Robotic Device for Home-Based Hand Therapy. The device enables patients to perform intensive hand therapy sessions multiple times a day from the comfort of their own homes. It is regularly used with the aim of preventing contractures, improving range of motion, and reducing pain.
The device offers interactive and adaptive therapy programs, which will be tailored to the user’s needs and progress. This not only enhances therapeutic outcomes but also fosters patient motivation and independence in the recovery journey and helps them to stay committed to their therapy and achieve their goals.

About us
Our story began with a participation at Jugend Forscht, a student science ​competition. There, Pascal presented a robotic hand that was actually intended for use in dangerous situations such as outer space. In order to develop a hand prosthesis from this in the next step, he sought a conversation with the leading hand surgeon and senior physician at the University Hospital in Mainz: Dr. Eric Hanke.

During the conversation with Dr. Hanke, our idea generator and founding father, it quickly became clear that an intelligent hand therapy device was much more urgently needed on the market than a hand prosthesis.

During the conceptualization Dominic joined ​Pascal. Together we started working on our first prototype. We received overwhelming feedback from therapists, doctors, and at a variety of competitions. This motivated us to found LIME medical GmbH and turn our ideas into reality.

Since then, the team has been growing and we are passionate about making lasting improvements to hand and movement therapy.

Über uns
Unsere Geschichte begann mit einer Teilnahme bei Jugend Forscht. Dort stellte Pascal eine Roboterhand vor, die eigentlich für den Einsatz in gefährlichen Situationen wie z. B. im Weltall gedacht war. Um aus dieser im nächsten Schritt eine Handprothese zu entwickeln, suchte er das Gespräch mit dem leitenden Handchirurg und Oberarzt der Uniklinik Mainz: Dr. Eric Hanke.

Im Gespräch mit unserem Ideengeber und Gründervater Dr. Hanke stellte sich schnell heraus, dass ein intelligentes Handtherapiegerät viel dringender auf dem Markt benötigt werde als eine Handprothese.
 

Während der Konzeptionierung stieß Dominic dazu. Zu zweit startete die Arbeit an unserem ersten Prototypen. Bei Therapeut:innen, Ärzt:innen und bei einer Vielzahl von Wettbewerben erhielten wir überwältigendes Feedback. Dieses motivierte uns dazu, die LIME medical GmbH zu gründen und unsere Ideen Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen.

Seit der Gründung 2016 wächst das Team stetig und wir konnten unser Gebiet von der Handtherapie auf die allgemeine, orthopädische Bewegungstherapie ausweiten. Aktuell arbeiten wir mit Leidenschaft  an neuen Produkten im Bereich Digitaler Gesundheitsanwendungen (DiGA) - die sogenannte App auf Rezept. So wollen wir Patient:innen zusätzliche Therapiezeit verschaffen.
Your application
Thank you for your interest in LIME! Please upload a document at the bottom of this site under "other" in which you answer the following questions:
  1. If you are applying for an internship: is it a compulsory internship during your studies? How long should it be according to your university?
  2. If you are applying for a thesis: is it a bachelor's or master's thesis? What is the expected duration of the thesis?
Please answer the following questions on a scale of 1-10 (we describe the scale in each case):
  1. How important is it for you to work in a team and to overcome challenges together?
    (0 = I am responsible for my tasks and expect others to do theirs. 10 = One Team, One Dream: When others need my help, I step in).
  2. You have a new and complex task coming up that you have never done before and on which the whole team depends. Are you ready to take on this task?
    (0 = That's irresponsible, I need to prepare first. 10 = Let's go, I'll learn as I go).
  3. How do you discuss ideas?
    (0 = I wait to see what others say first. 10 = I say what I think, even if everyone else has a different opinion).
  4. We have stressful periods now and then and have to set strong priorities. In such times, can you do what is necessary and leave other things?
    (0 = Rather not, neglecting my usual tasks would make me nervous. 10 = I think I could find the most important task and work only on it).
