Team Lead/Senior Software Engineer - C++

As a team lead and senior C++ software engineer at Thirona you will lead, and be part of, the team that develops and maintains the software framework and applications that execute the algorithms developed by our deep learning team. Applications include back-end routines for pre- and postprocessing for our image analysis models and executables to create visual reports for our clients.

In this role you will, together with the product manager, determine the planning for the team and communicate and execute this planning. You should be able to quickly adapt the planning in a fast-changing environment. You will work closely with the other software teams and the deep learning team to determine the best solutions and ensure flawless integration of the created software. You will guide and motivate the other software engineers in performing their job.

Most of our software is written in modern C++. You’ll also occasionally write supporting scripts - experience with Python, CMake, Docker, and/or Jenkins is a strong plus.

• Design and develop new software features, and maintain, optimize, and validate existing software
