Junior Software Engineer (Python)

Berlin    ·    Permanent, Full-time    ·    Remote

WHO WE ARE

We’re a Berlin-based medtech startup dedicated to building AI-powered software that supports radiologists with their daily work: Analyzing medical images. Our first product mdbrain, which helps identifying Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis, is certified as a medical product and already has gained some traction in the German market. In order to scale further, we want to grow our software development team.

Our software is microservices oriented (Docker) and mainly written in Python (80%), with a React.JS frontend. Our systems architecture is hybrid on-premises and on the cloud (AWS). We automate as much as possible with our CI/CD pipeline (gitlab CI).

YOUR MISSION

• Develop and test new features for our product, both independently and by doing pair-programming together with highly experienced developers from which you will learn a lot.
• Over time, take full responsibility for designing and developing new software components.
• Write automated tests, improve our test strategy and coverage.
• Write ETL jobs and help to maintain a huge database of medical images.

YOUR PROFILE

• Bachelor or Masters in Computer Science or similar.
• Passionate and talented programmer with a focus/interest in Python.
• Comfortable with Linux, command-line tools, SSH, bash scripting.
• Good understanding of the fundamentals of networking, REST APIs, microservices, AWS cloud.
• Fluent in English, basic/medium level of German.

Not needed, but a plus:

• Experience or interest in Machine Learning or image processing.
• Experience in IT-Radiology Systems.
• Knowledge of radiological data and systems e.g. DICOM format / PACS.

WHY US?

• You will join an early-stage venture which is trying to have an impact on people’s life and health.
• As part of a small team of engineers, you will have the chance to become a key employee and increase your responsibilities over time.
• We implement a flexible working culture (e.g. home office).
• You’ll find a friendly working atmosphere and will be able to take part in regular fun team-building activities.
• We enrich each other’s knowledge through periodical knowledge sharing sessions.

Our current tech stack:

• Python, react, redis, postgres, mongoDB, docker, AWS (EC2, EMR, RDS, ECR), spark, gitlab-CI

ABOUT US

mediaire was founded in 2018 by Dr. Andreas Lemke and Dr. Jörg Döpfert – both physicists with a background in MRI physics.

The real founding history, however, dates back to 2009 when the scientific paths of Andreas and Jörg crossed several times with the renowned radiologist Prof. Henrik Michaely. Coming from different backgrounds and discovering that each had the same goal, the idea of a scientifically and economically successful high-tech product took shape – a software powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that allows highly efficient analysis of medical imaging data in Radiology to support radiologists in their daily routine.
