Job Description
Do you want to help shape tomorrow’s healthcare with AI? At Pacmed, we combine technology and humanity to keep healthcare accessible and future-proof. With our AI software, we help healthcare professionals make better real-time decisions, use capacity more efficiently, and ensure smooth patient flows, from the emergency department and ICU to the clinic.
Our mission? To help hospitals accelerate their care transformation and digitalization goals, so that every patient receives the right care at the right time.
We are a growing AI company with solutions already running in multiple hospitals, and we are actively scaling further across the Netherlands.
Does this sound exciting? Then we have the perfect role for you! We are looking for a Python Software Engineer who will be responsible for designing, building, and shipping the backend and infrastructure of our product.
As a Software Engineer, you will sit –or stand, if you prefer– right at the center of Pacmed's software development process. You will report to the Lead Software Engineer (Michele), and work closely with a group of talented and driven developers, engineers, and data scientists in the Product Engineering team. You will also often interact with UX and product designers, clinical experts and with (often technical) healthcare professionals in hospitals to ensure that, once the Pacmed product suite is implemented at the bedside, it truly adds value in daily practice.
Why Pacmed is a great place to work
Requirements
The perks our team loves
🚀 You’ll get a stake in Pacmed’s success through our Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) program
💡 Development Day once a month – spend 5% of your work time for personal development!
🎪 Regular social events, with quarterly outings and yearly off-site
👵🏽 Sponsored contribution of an equivalent of 6% of your salary to a private pension fund
👶 Extra paid additional birth leave and maternity leave
🏠 Flexible working arrangements in working hours and working from abroad
…but Also
🏝 25 paid holidays per year based on full time employment
➕ The option to buy 5 extra holidays based on full time employment
🏖️ Possibility to take a 3-months sabbatical once employed with a permanent contract
🥗 Lunch provided daily at the office, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options
🏋🏽 A ClassPass and OpenUp subscription
🙏🏻 Option to customize public holidays: swap some standard public holidays for alternative days to accommodate personal or religious observances
🖥️ Company laptop, phone allowance and home office equipment provided
Our Tech Stack
Our software is written in Python and Javascript (Typescript). To aid us in our development and deployment process, we use a variety of tools such as Spark, Docker, FastAPI, SQL, VueJS, Terraform and Ansible, all in Linux virtual machines with Azure as our cloud provider. Of course, no single person knows and uses all these tools! So don't worry if you don't know many or most of them. And if you are curious about any of them, you will definitely have the chance to pick them up and learn on the job.
At the same time, we are always eager to add beneficial new technologies to our stack. If you want to contribute your expertise with a specific tool that you love, we have a Tech Funnel process to evaluate and possibly adopt anything that might be interesting and beneficial to the team and/or our product.
Growing at Pacmed
At Pacmed we are fully committed to help you grow in the direction that you envision for yourself. Together with your manager, you will craft a development path to guide you in the process. Every quarter you will review your individual growth goals, both with your manager and your team lead, to make sure that you are working on the right things and achieving the goals you have set for yourself.
As a successful Software Engineer, here's an example of what the next 5 years at Pacmed could look like. Of course, this is just a hypothetical path: everyone's professional growth looks different, and every step of the way is highly dependent on a number of factors, including but not limited to one's own performance, but also the needs of the team and the availability of positions.
In the short term (1-3 years) you could grow into a Senior position, in which you will own big(ger) portions of our codebase; design and execute complex tasks; scope and drive medium- and long-term projects; contribute to the strategic vision of the product and tech team; work closely with team leads and product managers to plan work and resources.
In the longer term (3-5 years), you would decide to follow either the Manager or Individual Contributor track. As a lead/manager, you would start leading teams and managing direct reports, contributing to the company and product strategy, helping to draft goals, manage resources, hiring, etc. As an individual contributor, you would be able to focus on leading the architectural and technical strategy of the tech team, being responsible for large(r) technical decisions and architectural designs, and for delivering code and products of the highest quality.
Hiring process
Note: we will not ask you to do a take-home coding challenge for this position. We value your time, and we do not believe in asking candidates to do unpaid work.
