Proximie is on a mission to improve healthcare by transforming the world’s operating rooms into connected ecosystems of people, devices, and data. Our Intelligence Suite transforms operating room (OR) performance, keeping teams in sync and workflows on track to maximise throughput. Simultaneously our computer vision and AI capabilities capture real‑time data and detect surgical events — improving quality of data outputs.

The result: ORs are optimised like never before with predictive analytics and automated notifications ensuring patients and staff are in the right place at the right time.

Once practitioners are in the OR, our Surgical Suite enables real‑time remote access and creates a secure video record of every procedure; improving training, education, and collaboration. It is an intuitive asset that helps instill a culture of continuous learning, accelerates the adoption of cutting‑edge medical devices, and enhances surgical performance across the entire global workforce — improving outcomes and saving lives.

Proximie was commercialised in 2019 and is available in over 800 facilities globally. Check out our Founder and CEO Nadine’s Origins Story

Proximie’s engineering organisation is the heartbeat of the company — designing and delivering products that drive measurable clinical and operational impact. Our platform empowers surgical teams around the world to improve patient outcomes, optimise operating room efficiency, and harness data for smarter, more connected surgery.

As Proximie continues its global expansion, we are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join our data engineering team. Our data has become more important than ever. We need to utilise it to make analytical decisions, store it securely, move it between different systems, all the while ensuring that we adhere to healthcare and data protection regulations. As a Senior Data Engineer you’ll help shape the future of Proximie’s Data & Insights platform, ensuring our systems are robust, secure, and scalable to power analytics, AI, and data products used by hospitals worldwide.
