Your mandate as our principal software engineer?

6 000 EUR/monthOffered salary varies based on relevant experience and skills. Annual salary bonus based on individual & company performance.

Your role

You’ll be involved in key technical and business decisions, engaging cross-functional teams to develop the most effective solutions. We’re looking for someone to be the guiding force behind our technical product development, constantly look for ways to improve our processes and technology and be a key mentor to our growing team.

Here’s what we’d love to see
  • You’re a natural leader, serving as the go-to technical lead for high-priority technical topics, mentoring team members, and helping to identify and coach promising new talent.
  • Your technical experience is immense. Maybe you were the CTO in a previous role. Maybe you’ve spent your career as the senior technical staff member on projects. You’ll bring every ounce of that experience into this role, becoming the internal champion in code quality, reuse, and extensibility, serving as our resident Java and/or JavaScript subject matter expert, and developing an exhaustive knowledge of our platform architecture, services and applications. You’ll play a key role in setting the pace for our technical initiatives, including our shift to deploying our applications on the AWS platform.
  • You know how to write a playbook. Taking a critical eye to all our processes and tools, you’ll enhance our processes and technology, our deployment patterns and our development guidelines, and recommended standards and tooling to help us work effectively.
  • You understand business and code speak, connecting lower-level technical details to needs of the business.
  • You’re kind of a big deal in the tech community, finding opportunities to make us part of the larger conversation among the global tech and healthcare community, engage in startup community-building activities, like open source projects, and bring back best practices and ideas to our own team.
