Job Description

Job title: Advanced Software Engineer - C++

In this role, you have the opportunity to:

Lead the design and development of high-reliability C++ software for medical imaging systems, including wrappers/adapters to system interfaces. Own architecture, implementation, integration, CI/CD, and compliance in a regulated environment. Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver performance, secure, and maintainable solutions aligned with clinical workflows.

Your Role:

• Define, document, and evolve system and module architecture, interfaces, and data flows for imaging workflows.

• Design and implement C++ wrappers/adapters for medical imaging system interfaces, enabling robust API/device integration.

• Develop DICOM-compliant modules (C-FIND/C-STORE/C-MOVE, modality worklist, storage commitment) and related protocols (HL7, IHE profiles, REST/gRPC).

• Implement secure, performant software following OO principles, design patterns, and memory/resource management best practices.

• Integrate third-party SDKs/devices; manage streaming/API tech (gRPC, REST, WebSocket), threading/concurrency, and IPC.

• Set up and maintain GitHub repositories, branching strategy, and GitHub Actions pipelines for build, test, static analysis, packaging, and release.

• Contribute to verification/validation: unit tests, integration tests, test harnesses, and automated regression suites.

• Perform code reviews, troubleshoot complex issues with appropriate tooling, and drive root-cause fixes.

• Ensure cyber-security, reliability, and performance (latency/throughput) with telemetry, profiling, and resiliency patterns.

• Create high-quality documentation (architecture, design, interfaces, risk controls) and support design transfer.

• Collaborate with Product Owners, QA/RA, Clinical, and Operations across agile ceremonies; mentor engineers.

You're the right fit if:

• Bachelor or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.

• 10+ years of professional software development; medical device experience preferred.

Desired Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience building C++ wrappers/adapters for medical imaging system interfaces.

• Proven GO programming languages hands-on development experience, especially integrate with C++ libraries.

• Practical knowledge of DICOM and associated protocols/workflows; familiarity with HL7, IHE integration, and PACS/RIS/HIS connectivity.

• Experience with DICOM toolkits and interoperability (e.g., DCMTK, fo-dicom), as well as PACS/VNA integration and modality worklist.

• Proven GitHub and GitHub Actions experience (CI/CD, code quality gates, artifacts, environments).

• Experience with cross-platform build systems (CMake), package managers, and toolchains on Windows/Linux.

• Solid grasp of software architecture/design patterns, APIs, and IPC (REST/gRPC); streaming technologies.

• Agile development experience; effective communication in English; ability to lead design and reviews.

Skills:

• Expert-level C++, STL/Boost, templates, and multi-threading; strong debugging and profiling.

• Python/C++ for tooling; containerization (Docker/K8s), Ansible; static analysis (clang-tidy, Coverity), sanitizers; secure coding; cloud/devops exposure.

• Preferred Experience with interfaces and workflows.
