Software Engineer (Cancer Research)

Software Engineer – Cancer Research – Amsterdam or Utrecht, or Rotterdam.

My client is a growing company focused on developing personalized cancer treatments based on the genetic makeup of individual patients. Unlike many existing cancer therapies that use a generic approach, this method offers tailored care aimed at improving patient outcomes.

The client manages a massive genomic database (over a petabyte of data) and provides data to hospital partners. This genomic data is processed on a dedicated platform where specialized algorithms analyze the information. The results from these algorithms assist hospitals in making more accurate diagnoses and recommending more effective, personalized treatments. This collaborative data exchange happens simultaneously, enabling hospitals to receive processed insights while the client continues to manage and share vast amounts of genomic data efficiently.

Tech: Kotlin, Java, GCP, Terraform, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Python

As a software engineer, you will be building internal software. This includes working on a database (petabytes) to share services with researchers, a sample registration platform for reports on sequencing, and the maintenance of pipelines that run the algorithms on genomic data.

You will also be involved in developing a new platform for sample registration, results validation, and automation, replacing many current manual processes. This includes building a web platform that hospitals can use. Your work will be roughly 80% development and 20% maintenance, with some involvement in infrastructure.

You should have experience with:

• OOP and willingness to work with Kotlin.

• Between 2-6 years of professional experience.

• Automating infrastructure environments using Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with these technologies is a plus, but not a requirement.

• Strong communication in either English or Dutch.
