Our cutting-edge frontend SPA relies on a multitude of RESTful endpoints, offering a seamless user experience.

In this pivotal role, you will play a crucial part in developing groundbreaking solutions for medical researchers while also contributing to the strategic direction and objectives of our product. We seek a candidate who can autonomously discern priorities among various features, tasks, and optimizations, ensuring optimal outcomes for our users and stakeholders.

  • Build features for LIMS - our internal laboratory information system (powered by Django).
  • Build robust data pipelines to feed into machine learning algorithms
  • Provide technical support to the internal team
  • Handle automated deployments and maintenance for web servers.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Django / Python.

  • Experience in full-stack web development, including front-end and back-end development
  • Demonstrated leadership or capability to see projects through completion
  • Effective technical communication skills to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
