Welcome to Mindpeak!
We are a Hamburg, Germany-based scale-up pioneering AI-powered precision medicine to improve outcomes for cancer patients. Our technology enables pathologists and oncologists to make better diagnostic decisions by predicting which patients will benefit from specific treatments. Over 40.000 Patients have been diagnosed with the help of Mindpeak’s AI.
At Mindpeak, you’ll work with leaders in AI, pathology, and entrepreneurship to shape the future of cancer diagnostics.
We need you to make a difference in the world and shape the future of cancer diagnostics!
As a (Senior) Software Developer specializing in Python, you will play a pivotal role in our development team, driving the creation of our lab tools and shaping our technologies from the ground up. Digital pathology presents significant challenges, such as managing large images with file sizes of several gigabytes and dimensions of 100,000 x 100,000 pixels. You will for example work on solutions to efficiently stream these images using an advanced image server.
Note: This position does not involve AI model development. Our dedicated machine learning team develops the AI models. Your role as a (Senior) Backend Developer will focus on integrating, scaling, and serving these models within robust software systems.
A robustly engineered product is crucial to our mission of making pathology accessible worldwide. You will report directly to our VP of Engineering.
