Developing software is great, but developing software with a purpose is even better! As an Edge Software Engineer, you’ll work on a platform that is foundational to a new ecosystem to help people with the most precious thing they have — their health. 

Here’s what we’re looking for:

We are looking for an experienced, motivated Senior Software Engineer who will work closely with their colleagues, and who ideally has built digital products and platforms. As a code-magician, you will support our efforts to improve the digital health ecosystem. You will contribute with your knowledge of Java, Go and Kubernetes within our agile cross-functional teams. 

As a flexible and open-minded person with a passion for clean code you will be a perfect addition to our Platform team. We are committed to quality, dedicating time to code reviews, test coverage, quality days and CI/CD principles. If this resonates with you, we would love to hear from you!

Who you are :

• You hold a BS/MS degree in Computer Science or directly related discipline with 4+ years of hands-on industry experience as a software engineer (java and go preferred)

• You have also 2+ years experience in contemporary platforms extended from cloud (e.g: docker Kubernetes, helm charts, Kustomize). You have successfully built, deployed, and supported enterprise-scale applications in the edge and/or in a multi-instance cloud.

• You are a quick learner with the ability to understand complex workflows and develop and validate innovative solutions to solve difficult problems

• You enjoy developing clean, stable, testable, and performant backend code, serving our beautiful applications and you are passionate about solid technical design, clean code, and future-proof architectures

• You have great written and verbal communication in English

Bonus skills:

• Secure infrastructure as code provisioning experience and cloud knowledge

• Knowledge of Infra as Code, Terraform and Github Actions 

• Experience with OpenID Connect standard and Keycloak or other open source software product that allows single sign-on with identity and access management

• Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) or other cloud providers

• Experience in healthcare is not required, but familiarity with data standards and workflows is a plus (e.g. HL7, IHE)

Here's what you can expect from us: 

• Ambitious and passionate people building meaningful products for a global audience

• An innovative agile working environment allowing for collaboration with really smart people and knowledge sharing in cross-functional teams 

• A growing organization with room for development

• Loads of benefits (brand new Apple hardware, public transport, lunch benefit, language classes, professional training budget,...)

• Flexible home office policy

• Oh, and did we mention the best team in the world!

You will learn about the wide range of technologies we employ, from native Kubernetes development to infrastructure-as-code in our cloud environment, gaining a rich understanding of the specific requirements of medical software, be it security, medical risk management, safe and resilient programming, or certifications and audits.
