As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, optimizing, and continuously improving software solutions, while contributing to technical initiatives and ensuring the solutions meet both business and technical requirements.

Your work will enable healthcare institutions in setting up diagnostic workflows that integrate seamlessly with the SOPHiA DDM platform - processing high-volume of medical data and bringing insights for oncologists via a streamlined process.

These components span the complete technology stack of SOPHiA DDM as well as the middleware layer responsible for integration and connectivity between SOPHiA DDM and external hospital systems. Your expertise will ensure these components not only scale effectively but also remain efficient in terms of performance and cost, while being extended with features required for new integrations.

The value you bring

• Design, develop, and continuously improve robust services that are scalable and efficient while fitting into overall system architecture
• Implement new features and enhancements across SOPHiA DDM core components, public API as well as middleware layer to enable setup of new integrations with external hospital systems of our customers

• Support existing live integrations with customers, propose and implement enhancements based on customer feedback and to achieve system robustness goals

• Ensure components perform reliably under high workloads, optimize system performance, resource utilization, and task execution times, contribute to improvements in system stability

• Optimize deployment workflows, automate pipelines, and enhance infrastructure management for efficient and reliable application deployment

• Implement and maintain monitoring systems to track performance and identify bottlenecks, use existing observability tools like Grafana and Loki to provide insights into operational health
• Use cutting edge AI tools and software engineering best practices to boost productivity across all workstreams
