About the Opportunity

We are seeking talented Software Engineers to join our passionate team of engineers and scientists. At Flywheel, we’re creating a world-class data sharing and distributed computing platform serving biomedical imaging and life sciences research. The Scientific Solutions Engineering (SSE) team expands Flywheel features and provides value to our customers by developing innovative solutions, such as custom integrations, toolkits, and Gears. Gears are open-sourced, containerized applications which enhance the core Flywheel framework. Gears can perform data science tasks as well as run scientific algorithms. Gears allow our customers to extend and customize applications to suit their needs.

Successful applicants will have a desire to make positive contributions to the biomedical and life sciences communities we serve and a passion for problem-solving, elevating others around them, and delivering quality results on-time. This role requires a strong development background and knowledge of the technologies in use by the team, including Python, Docker, Git, unit and integration testing, and CI/CD.

Environment

Join us as we develop best practices for collaborative processes between engineers, the technical operations team, R&D, the SSE team, and the customer. Team members are recognized and rewarded when advocating for customer success, scientific rigor, and reproducible methods above other concerns. We value self-motivated, creative individuals who work well in a collaborative environment – constantly generating and sharing new ideas and innovative solutions with the team.

Our team is made up of people who code, many of whom have PhDs and deep scientific research backgrounds.

Flywheel has a comprehensive benefits package and encourages a balanced work life and home life.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, test, and maintain new and existing high-quality data science tools, written primarily in Python, to plug into the Flywheel platform.
  • Maintain internal and external tools for making Gear development easier. Including CI/CD, CLI, and GUI applications.
  • Contribute to and maintain coding style/standards and best practices.
  • Develop tools and methods for integration with pre-existing scientific data management systems.
  • Develop methods for customers to load public datasets into Flywheel platform.
  • Perform QA and testing against Gears and the Flywheel platform itself.
  • Serve as advisor to the product management team for overall product experience and to key stakeholders for expanding data types supported on Flywheel.
  • Act as a technical resource internally and externally (between Engineers and Scientists).
  • Read customer-written code and applications, translate, and integrate into Flywheel's platform.
  • Work independently with a remote team.

What would make you a great fit

  • Strong software development skills with a proven track record of writing quality code and unit tests.
  • Solid proficiency with Python, Docker, and Bash.
  • Experience with continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD).
  • Experience working with software development tools such as Git, and JIRA (or other issue management software).Direct experience working with REST APIs and SDKs.
  • Experience working with databases; both noSQL (e.g MongoDB, Redis) and SQL (e.g. Postgres, MariaDB).
  • Familiarity with open source software development practices (demonstrated community contributions are a plus).
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities while being responsive to stakeholder's needs.
  • Acute sensitivity to details and edge cases.
  • Driven by curiosity and creative problem solving.
  • Passion for writing quality code and tests.
  • Readiness to provide mentorship to fellow team members.
  • Knowledge of DICOM standard (strongly preferred).
  • Experience with Kubernetes (strongly preferred).
  • Development experience with Javascript (strongly preferred).
  • Integrating systems related to data acquisition and data analysis for users in multiple groups/disciplines.
  • Experience with scientific workflows designed for computational reproducibility.
  • Research experience with clinical or medical imaging (a plus).
