Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?

Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

As a Software Engineer II specializing in Edge Data Platform at Tempus, you will contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of our cloud-native Edge Data Platform. In this role you will build a portfolio of data platform systems  that enable data integration teams that securely connect Tempus’s cloud with healthcare organizations and data networks, enabling efficient and reliable data exchange for clinical, molecular, and imaging datasets.

Why we’re looking for you (required skills):

  • You value the importance of defining data contracts, and have experience writing specifications including REST APIs, preferably in Python.

  • You have experience in frontend (React Javascript) development or a strong interest in picking up that skill.

  • You have experience in cloud-native applications and supporting technologies, patterns, and  practices including:  AWS/GCP cloud services, container orchestration systems, CI/CD systems, event-based integration patterns, and microservices.

  • You know what it takes to build and run scalable resilient cloud-native data pipelines and microservices in production.

  • You've worked in agile environments and are comfortable iterating quickly.

  • You enjoy collaborating and communicating with team members of varying skill sets and from different fields.

  • You embrace GenAI tools in your day-to-day work to boost productivity, accelerate learning, and focus your energy on solving the most impactful problems.

Bonus points for:

  • Healthcare domain knowledge and experience with healthcare transmission formats (e.g. FHIR, HL7, ANSI X12) and data models (e.g OMOP).

  • Experience in integrating with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems.

  • Experience building and operating high-throughput data processing systems with spiky workloads.

  • Experience with infrastructure concepts such as networking, linux system administration, and cloud identity federation (e.g. OIDC).
