ABC Labs was created in Spring 2020 in a direct response to challenges posed by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to the Swedish healthcare system.

Initially built and deployed over seven weeks, ABC now consistently represents up to 25% of all national testing for Covid-19 with over 2.7 million tests completed.

Our culture is defined by speed, agility, and innovation without ever compromising the highest standards of quality. ABC was first in Sweden to set up mass screening for both the Delta and Omicron variants and the first in Europe to launch tests for measuring T-cell immunity.

We believe the pandemic has changed diagnostics and healthcare forever. Looking towards the future, we are investing heavily to create solutions that make testing affordable, accessible and readily available.

About the role
ABC has partnered with the Public Health Agency of Sweden, a majority of Regions, and most significant private care providers.

As VP Engineering, you will lead a team of skilled engineers and work closely with our partners to build an infrastructure that enables intelligent testing strategies; including population-based national screening programs, early identification of risk factors, and remote monitoring of chronic diseases.

This includes creating innovative tools to support lab processes and building external tools for streamlining connectivity between care providers, labs, and patients; covering operation of sampling sites, home sampling, logistics, and the exchange of clinical data.

The ideal candidate is an experienced and strategic leader that can nurture and lead a team of highly competent, open minded, and driven people.
