Responsibilities

  • Take on end-to-end ownership for delivering a best-in-class radiology platform.
  • Solve user problems by shipping reliable and efficient features and improvements, often using Python and Django.
  • Collaborate with radiologists, clinical staff, and IT staff to discover requirements, build prototypes, and validate solutions.
  • Improve application quality and reliability with pre-deployment automated testing, robust error handling, and graceful error recovery.
  • Partner with frontend developers to ship new features and improve overall system performance and reliability.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation or customer support engineering rotation.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of progressive experience building and maintaining complex, high performance web applications running in cloud environments.
  • Solid experience with Python and a Python web framework (ideally Django) as well as the supporting dev tools ecosystem.
  • Well-practiced debugging and problem-solving skills, and a thorough understanding of the abstractions you typically build on top of.
  • A product engineering mindset with a bias to talk to users frequently and ship iteratively.
  • An end-to-end ownership mindset across design, implementation, testing, and monitoring.
  • Experience using AI/LLM-based tools for developing software and solving software problems (e.g. Claude Code/Cursor/Copilot/OpenCode/etc.).

Nice to Have

  • Experience measuring and optimizing the performance of web applications and their database access patterns.
  • Experience building and maintaining reliable LLM- or ML-based products or systems, including evals, fine tuning, operations, and data engineering.
  • Experience managing cloud infrastructure using Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool.
  • Experience deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes or another container orchestration system.
  • Experience with data modeling (and grappling with the consequences of poor data modeling decisions).
  • Experience building and operating production data processing pipelines.
  • Deep experience in the Python ecosystem (e.g. package maintainer/contributor, etc.)
  • Systems programming & administration experience (networking, linux/POSIX, concurrency, filesystems, memory management, etc.)
  • Full-stack experience, ideally with Typescript/React.
  • Familiarity with radiology, medical imaging, or related fields.
