Senior Software Engineer, OS Ecosystem

As a Senior Software Engineer on the OS Ecosystem team, you will act as a core technical contributor in building the foundational infrastructure that powers Tempus' clinical, research, and AI capabilities. The OS Ecosystem team provides a platform that supports the full lifecycle of data and compute for a multitude of Tempus systems -from the "assembly line" of secure data ingestion, cataloging, and analysis to the orchestration of complex algorithms and models.

You will play a pivotal role in designing and developing systems that allow bioinformatics scientists, ML and Agent developers to rapidly develop, deploy, and operate their solutions in a highly regulated, secure, and scalable environment. Focusing on data storage, modeling, governance, and warehousing patterns, and forging new connections with the latest GenAI technologies, you will drive technical design and implementation to ensure our platform remains a robust foundation for cutting-edge technologies that help patients live longer, healthier lives., * Technical Design: Drive in-depth technical design of platform features for data modeling, schema versioning, and enforcing data contracts between producers and consumers, using cloud object storage and data warehousing technologies, ensuring alignment with functional and non-functional requirements.

• Implementation: Implement, test, and support backend web services and data pipelines in TypeScript, and Python, serving as a standard-bearer for code quality and system reliability.
• Stakeholder & Product Collaboration: Work closely with Product Managers to translate complex business requirements into technical designs, ensuring clear communication and alignment with business goals and users.
• Operational Excellence: Take operational responsibility for platform systems in production as part of the team's support rotation. You will not only troubleshoot complex technical issues but also proactively monitor systems to ensure reliability and performance optimization.
• Mentorship & Best Practices: Mentor other engineers on your team, fostering a culture of continuous learning and adoption of best practices in testing, documentation, and code review.

Do you have experience in System performance monitoring?, * Experience: 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on platform or data engineering, distributed data systems, or backend web services.

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
• Language Proficiency: Demonstrated success in writing production backend services in TypeScript, Python, or similar languages, with a willingness to work primarily in a Node.js and Python environment.
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
• Familiarity with relational database design and application-level operations, including schema migrations. Experience with Google Spanner is a plus.
• Experience in systems monitoring and operational responsibility for platform production systems, including internal user support and/or on-call duties.
• Experience working with cloud technologies (we use GCP) like GCS, BigQuery, and Cloud Spanner.

Recent advancements in technology have made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time. At Tempus, software and AI products are owned and developed by small, autonomous teams composed of engineers, designers, scientists, and product managers. Teams set the goals, build the software, deploy the code, and contribute to a growing suite of capabilities that drives research and delivers advanced diagnostic and treatment improvements for our clinical partners and their patients. Tempus OS is the internal software platform that supports and connects all these teams and their products, enabling them to go farther, faster while safeguarding patient safety and privacy., Tempus was founded in August of 2015 by Eric Lefkofsky, after his wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Shortly after he founded the company in an effort to bring the power of technology and artificial intelligence to cancer care, he convinced Ryan Fukushima to join as the company's first employee. Ryan and Eric began assembling a world class team, focused on building the first version of a platform capable of ingesting real time healthcare data in an effort to personalize diagnostics. We built the platform for oncology and have expanded it to neuropsychiatry, cardiology, infectious disease (through COVID), and radiology. Despite our rapid growth, our mission remains the same-to help make sure patients are on the right drug at the right time, so they can live longer and healthier lives.
