Senior Software Engineer

As a senior software engineer at Cyted you will take the lead in building and evolving the systems that power medical insights and drive diagnostic workflows end to end. You will own meaningful technical outcomes, shape how our platform grows and set the standard for engineering quality across the team. You will work across a modern stack built on containerized Kotlin backends running in AWS and managed with Terraform. You will ship clean, reliable React interfaces in Typescript. You will also work on the integrations that make our platform effective in the real world, from internal links to digital pathology systems and genomic processing pipelines to external connections that deliver reports to customers and clinical trial partners. You will balance time, value and user needs with clarity and pragmatism. You will stay ahead of emerging technologies and engineering practices. You will mentor, guide and train other engineers to raise the bar. Above all, you will take full ownership of what you build and push it to deliver clear, tangible impact.

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver new platform capabilities aligned to business priorities and real customer value.
• Build reusable code and libraries that strengthen long-term development.
• Maintain and upgrade existing software to keep it robust, scalable and reliable.
• Integrate the platform with third party services to extend its functionality and impact.
• Recommend technologies and engineering approaches that improve productivity and quality.
• Analyse and troubleshoot issues with speed and accuracy.
• Create test plans, write automated tests and perform manual testing when required.
• Support technical audits and external testing such as penetration tests and implement recommendations.
• Mentor and guide other engineers to raise the standard of the whole team.
• Shape and contribute to Agile and Continuous Improvement practices.
• Work with engineers to plan, prioritise and deliver features with clarity and discipline.
• Participate in team sessions to explore user needs, discuss priorities and contribute strong ideas.
• Gather insight directly from users including pathologists, clinicians, IT teams and Cyted service teams.
• Demonstrate your work regularly and invite feedback from across the organisation to drive improvement.

The role demands momentum, ownership and results. The candidate should be able to:

• Take full ownership of built systems and drive them to deliver clear, tangible impact.
• Mentor, guide and train other engineers to raise the standard of the team.
• Balance time, value and user needs with clarity and pragmatism.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and engineering practices.
• Understand the science, data flows, workflow logic and constraints of clinical settings.
• Learn details behind the technology, anticipate edge cases and solve problems rather than passing them along.
• Be comfortable with both specifics of diagnostic workflows and debugging distributed systems.
• Question assumptions, propose better approaches and be open to critique.
• Commit fully to chosen directions and drive them forward with clarity and conviction.
• Bring empathy and clarity into engineering decisions, anchoring work in clinical realities.
• Move with purpose and lead technically when needed, setting high standards for the team.
• Set ambitious technical goals, shape architecture and deliver systems that clinicians can trust at scale.
