    You may bring experience like:

  • 3 to 5 years of hands-on software engineering, ideally in the medical device or healthcare sector.

  • Solid understanding of how distributed systems are built, maintained and scaled.

  • Familiarity with DICOM, HL7, FHIR, and formats used in CT or MRI workflows.

  • Proficiency in Python, or an eagerness to work with it in a production environment.

  • Experience with cloud platforms, particularly AWS, and developing within modern software pipelines.

  • Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively and work independently where needed.

    What You’ll Be Working With

  • Python-based services deployed in a cloud-native architecture.

  • Data pipelines and algorithms for medical imaging analysis.

  • Interfaces with hospital systems and data formats such as DICOM and FHIR.

  • A team that combines engineering, research and operations, all working towards meaningful health outcomes.
