How we work
At Cyted how we work is just as important as what we build. Our values shape how we grow collaborate and deliver for patients clinicians and partners. As a senior software engineer youll bring those values to life in the way you design build and ship technology that matters.
Wecare deeply about the patients we serve and the clinicians who rely on our diagnostics. For you care means building systems that are reliable intuitive and resilient. It means understanding the pressures on our users and designing technology that reduces friction rather than adding to it. Youll bring empathy and clarity into your engineering decisions always anchoring your work in the reality of clinical environments.
We expect you toown your work with confidence and credibility. Youll take responsibility for the systems you build the decisions you make and the outcomes they drive. Youll move with purpose lead technically when needed and set high standards for the team around you.
We aim high. Were scaling fast and building in a complex regulated space but were not here to follow. Youll help define what great engineering looks like in a new category of diagnostics. Youll set ambitious technical goals shape our architecture and deliver systems that clinicians can trust at scale.
Youll be expected todive deep. Youll understand the science the data flows the workflow logic and the constraints of real-world clinical settings. Youll learn the detail behind our technology anticipate edge cases and solve problems rather than passing them along. Youll be as comfortable getting into the specifics of a diagnostic workflow as debugging a distributed system.
We encourage everyone tochallenge and commit. Youll play a part in shaping how our engineering team works what we prioritise and how we grow. Youll question assumptions propose better approaches and be open to critique. And once we choose a direction youll go all-in and drive it forward with clarity and conviction.
And above allwe deliver. This role demands momentum ownership and results. Youll write the code shape the architecture resolve the bottlenecks and push the platform forward. Every service you ship integration you refine and problem you resolve brings us closer to earlier better care for patients.
This is how we work at Cyted. If this is the environment where you do your best engineering we should talk.
