With the convergence of AI, precision medicine, and digital pathology, we’re not just changing pathology—we’re redefining what’s possible in medicine.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help build and evolve the software platform powering the future of digital pathology and medical imaging. You’ll work across the application stack — from scalable backend services and APIs to modern web applications and cloud-native infrastructure — delivering enterprise-grade software used in real-world healthcare environments.
We’re looking for an engineer who is equally comfortable designing distributed systems, building intuitive user experiences, and leveraging modern AI-assisted development workflows. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering, product, and operations teams to deliver highly scalable, reliable, and maintainable solutions.
Our platform combines high-performance medical imaging, modern web technologies, microservices architecture, and cloud-native infrastructure to solve meaningful problems in healthcare and diagnostics.
The ideal candidate has strong experience with TypeScript, Node.js/Deno, PostgreSQL, modern frontend development (Vue preferred), automated testing, and service-oriented architectures — along with a passion for building high-quality software and continuously improving engineering practices.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable services and applications across the platform stack
- Build and maintain modern APIs, microservices, and web applications using TypeScript and Vue
- Collaborate within a high-performing Agile/Scrum team to define, estimate, and deliver impactful features
- Partner with engineering teams across Proscia to ensure interoperability, platform consistency, and shared architectural direction
- Contribute to frontend architecture and user experience improvements for complex, data-intensive applications
- Adopt an AI-first mindset by integrating modern intelligent tools into your engineering workflows for system navigation, configuration validation, and complex troubleshooting. We expect our engineers to already be leveraging these technologies as a core part of their professional practice.
- Demonstrated experience developing with large language models, agentic pipelines, or AI agents, along with a proven track record of applying advanced AI-assisted development techniques to solve sophisticated technical challenges.
- Fluency in prompt engineering, tool-use patterns, and the evaluation of AI systems, including the ability to identify necessary guardrails and ensure the reliability of AI-generated technical outputs.
- Participate in architectural design discussions and help drive best practices for scalability, observability, maintainability, and performance
- Improve developer productivity through automation, testing, CI/CD, and platform tooling
- Continuously evaluate emerging technologies, frameworks, and engineering practices to improve the platform
Required Experience
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production-grade applications
- Strong experience with TypeScript and Node.js/Deno in enterprise application environments
- Experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs and service-oriented applications
- Experience developing modern web applications using Vue.js or comparable frontend frameworks such as React or Angular
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and API-driven architectures
- Experience working with PostgreSQL in production environments, including ORM usage and direct SQL optimization
- Strong automated testing experience using frameworks such as Vitest and Playwright
- Experience building and deploying cloud-native applications in AWS or Azure
- Prior experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices
- Familiarity with Git-based workflows and Agile/Scrum development methodologies
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills
- Passion for delivering high-quality, maintainable, and observable software systems
Desirable Experience
- Experience designing and scaling distributed systems in production environments
- Practical experience with microservices architecture and understanding associated trade-offs
- Experience building highly interactive or data-intensive frontend applications
- Familiarity with medical imaging, healthcare software, or regulated environments
- Experience working with large-file or high-throughput systems such as image processing or streaming platforms
- Understanding of event-driven architectures and messaging systems such as RabbitMQ, Kafka, or AWS SQS
- Experience with caching strategies, load balancing, API gateways, and performance optimization techniques
