Flatiron Health

Japan Senior Software Engineer

Tokyo, Japan
Python Java
Description

Flatiron Japan is looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Engineer to join our small startup team in Tokyo. We are in need of a technologist who is passionate about data and the potential for real-world evidence to accelerate cancer research and improve the lives of cancer patients around the world.

Japan Office

Flatiron Health is a healthcare data and technology company that is building a connected platform enabling the development of actionable insights in cancer research. Our mission is to improve lives by learning from the experience of every cancer patient. We do this by helping cancer care providers and researchers gain access to high quality data about cancer treatments and outcomes in the real world.

We established our Japan office in 2020 in Tokyo and within the overall company, Flatiron Health KK is a dynamic and growing team focused on transforming the use of real-world data and improving outcomes of cancer patients in Japan. 

What You'll Do

Learning from the experience of every cancer patient involves exploring many available data sources, and building robust data pipelines and systems that scale, while maintaining a laser focus on data protection and security. We welcome generalist engineers, aspiring architects, passionate backend engineers, engineers that are enthusiastic about data, and emerging engineering leaders. As an engineer you will:

  • Devise creative solutions to solve tough business, security, and data privacy challenges
  • Build and maintain data infrastructure systems that are flexible, scalable, and meet the needs of a rapidly changing business
  • Rapidly iterate on products early in the development of product-market fit 
  • Promote technical best practices with teammates
  • Work with complex data pipelines using a variety of data processing tools
  • Bring or develop a deep knowledge of healthcare technology in Japan, including data sources, sector-wide requirements, and emerging trends
  • Work day-to-day with oncologists, product leaders, quantitative scientists and customers to understand their challenges and how technology can help solve them
  • Collaborate with Engineers across all of our global locations

Who You Are

You're a software engineer with 4+ years of experience developing robust and scalable solutions. You're passionate about solving real-world problems with proven technologies and building elegant, scalable systems. You write simple, sophisticated, well-structured and well tested code that drives new features and improvements.

  • You have worked in a collaborative agile development environment using programming languages like Python, C#,  and Java, but are also a quick learner. Bonus points if you are an experienced Python specialist or have an affinity for infrastructure and networking
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity - you’re able to quickly develop hypotheses with limited information and have a demonstrated ability to learn complex concepts quickly
  • You are fluent (or professional-level) in both Japanese and English
  • You are excited to work in a small-team environment and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. You have an entrepreneurial spirit, “get it done” mentality, a nose for value and empathy for your customer
  • You are an effective communicator who is equally comfortable telling a compelling story to stakeholders, clinicians, engineers and customers.
  • You care more about our patients, customers, and advancing cancer treatment than you do about working with the coolest/newest technology

You're excited by the prospect of rolling up your sleeves and using technology to tackle meaningful problems each and every day. You're a kind, passionate and collaborative problem-solver who seeks and gives honest feedback and values the opportunity to improve the lives of cancer patients.

If this sounds like you, you'll fit right in at Flatiron.
