Your Role

Build internal tools that make our teams faster.

First priority: turn our manual Ground Truth Collection process into a scalable platform for multiple applications.

Long-term: own technical solutions for internal bottlenecks across the company.

What You’ll Do

• Work directly with labs, data scientists, and ops to understand real problems, design solutions and ship them

• Build web apps, mobile tools, automations, integrations. Pick the simplest approach that works.

• Design for scale: what you build will serve multiple teams and products

• Own projects end-to-end: discovery → design → delivery

• Set standards for architecture and code quality on internal tools

What You Bring

Experience and skills

• Product thinking. You solve problems, not just write code.

• Pragmatic judgement. Know when to build, buy, or duct-tape.

• Broad technical skills. Web frameworks (React, Django, Vue), backend (Python, Node, Go), cloud services.

• Clean code habits. Modular, maintainable, testable.

• Communication. You work with non-technical people daily and translate needs into tools.

Fit to our values

• We own every challenge: we enjoy complexity and thrive under uncertainty.

• We strive for better: we seize any opportunity for growth and challenge the status quo. We are constantly learning and improving.

• We imagine new frontiers: we think beyond “doable” and “reasonable”. We design a sustainable and healthy future together.

What Sets You Apart

• You get curious about domains. Labs, clinical settings, data pipelines. You want to understand how the work actually works.

• You thrive with autonomy. No one hands you specs. You find problems and solve them.

• You've built things that grew beyond their original scope and learned from what broke.
