In this position you will be a key member of our interdisciplinary team working closely with image scientists machine learning researchers and clinical collaborators to translate cutting-edge computational pathology research into robust production-quality software tools. You will be responsible for building and maintaining scalable software solutions that enable pathologists and researchers to analyze whole-slide histopathology images spatial transcriptomics datasets and multi-omics data from pediatric tumor cohorts. This role offers an excellent opportunity to have a direct impact on pediatric cancer research and patient care by developing software that bridges the gap between research innovation and clinical application.
Responsibilities:
- Design develop and maintain software applications and pipelines for digital pathology and spatial omics data analysis
- Drive the full software development lifecycle including design implementation testing deployment and maintenance
- Collaborate closely with pathologists data engineers and research staff to gather user needs define software requirements and ensure reproducibility
- Build user-friendly interfaces and APIs that enable pathologists and researchers to interact with complex image analysis algorithms
- Translate computer vision and deep learning models into reliable well-documented production tools
- Develop and maintain APIs web services and database systems to support computational pathology workflows
- Implement software solutions for large whole slide images datasets in HPC and cloud environments (e.g. SLURM Kubernetes AWS)
- Promote best practices in version control testing CI/CD modular design and documentation
- Provide technical support documentation and training for users
- Contribute to open-source software and scientific publications
