Work at Patronus Group
The simple way to live safely. We are Patronus.
We are more than just a provider of smart emergency watches. We are true visionaries.
As a modern healthcare start-up from Berlin with strong investors behind us, we are determined to improve the everyday lives of elderly people around the world, to make it safer and more independent.
That's what we achieve with our revolutionary Patronus watch.
Although not recognizable as an emergency device at first glance, it enables users to call for help easily and immediately, anytime and anywhere. This way, we provide an extra dose of safety and we can save lives in the truest sense of the word. However, the Patronus watch itself is only the door opener to develop numerous other groundbreaking products to improve the lives of older people, their relatives and their caregivers. Our vision is to use the enormous possibilities of modern technology to provide the best possible healthcare for our customers. In this way, we contribute to making the healthcare system more effective - and ensure a life worth living.
Why Patronus Exists
Patronus was founded after our Founder Ben saw a fundamental problem with traditional emergency systems: they existed, but they weren’t used.
His grandparents owned classic home emergency buttons. They were bulky, stigmatizing, and disconnected from everyday life. Most of the time, they sat unused on a nightstand.
That became a real issue the day Ben found his grandmother on the bathroom floor, unable to call for help.
That experience exposed a gap between having safety technology and actually using it. Patronus was built to close that gap.
What We’re Building
We’re building a digital platform for everyday care, combining hardware, software, and real-time services into one integrated system.
At the core is the Patronus Watch:
a wearable device designed to be reliable, intuitive, and always with the user.
Today, the Patronus Watch is worn by 20,000+ customers across Germany, and we continue to grow in complexity, scale, and impact.
Why This Matters for You
This is not a “nice-to-have” product. It’s mission-critical software.
As a developer at Patronus, you work on:
- Systems that must be highly available and fault-tolerant
- Real-time event processing and alerting
- Hardware–software integration
- Privacy-first architectures in a regulated environment
- Products that are used daily, and relied on in emergencies
Your code directly affects whether someone gets help when they need it.
If you care about building technology that actually gets used, scales responsibly, and has real-world consequences — this is the place to do it.
Our People Principles at Patronus aren’t just written - they’re lived. They shape how we support one another, how we build with purpose, and how we grow - together.
Aim High
Start with yes
We constantly challenge the status quo. Embracing change is the backbone of fundamental innovation. Optimism beats pessimism. We disagree and commit at the end of discussions.
Think big
We focus on solutions that matter. While we start with yes, it doesn’t mean we end with yes. Only big levers unlock our full potential. We turn complexity and ambiguity into clarity.
Customers first
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We deeply understand our customers to enable real problem solving. We actively seek and translate customer feedback into action.
Trust Each Other
Transparency by default
By default, we communicate openly. Assuming good intent ensures a safe space for voicing our concerns. We don’t share when it does more harm than good.
Everyone matters
We speak up and enable everyone to do the same. We actively listen to each other. By doing so, we create an inclusive environment in which everyone feels welcome and recognized.
We win together
We believe in the power of teams and don’t let each other down. We actively seek, give and receive feedback. We have a culture of strong collaboration where we learn from failure and celebrate success together.
Drive Forward
Own it
Ownership means responsibility, not entitlement. We take action because we own our destiny. Patronus is what you make of it.
Deliver results
We choose delivery over excuses. Our data-driven mindset ensures informed decision-making and measurable outcomes. We perform and keep it simple.
Can’t stop, won’t stop
We care, we dare, we deliver. By pushing boundaries we grow and ensure progress. Done is better than almost done. We enjoy speed.
