Description
At Sirona Medical we’re building tools for physicians to work as fast as they can think.  Many billions of patient images are acquired each year in the U.S., and nearly all of them are reviewed and diagnosed by a radiologist. In fact, 80% of healthcare data flows through radiology IT systems, and radiologists are among healthcare’s most tech-savvy and influential physicians. But they desperately need better, user-friendly software that cuts clicks and optimizes diagnostic time. Sirona is building a modern cloud-native and AI-powered operating system (“RadOS”) that unifies radiology IT onto a single, streamlined workspace. We’re a San Francisco, CA-based software company (with employees working from all over the world) founded on a deep understanding of both the practice and business of radiology.

  • Architect and plan end-to-end solutions for efficient and reliable data streaming, robust data models, and optimized data workflows.
  • Consider company goals and make informed decisions about solutions based on cost and value, especially for real-time systems, data storage, and processing.
  • Conduct code reviews and pair programming to ensure high-quality code and best practices for real-time applications, data models, and workflows.
  • Contribute to strong testing practices to prevent regressions in real-time streaming solutions, data models, and data workflows.

Key Requirements:

  • 10+ years of professional experience with Python or a similar object-oriented language (Python 3 preferred).
  • 10+ years of API design/development experience, with a focus on real-time data delivery and efficient data management.
  • 10+ years of Database experience (SQL or NoSQL), with experience in handling large volumes of data, designing complex data models, and optimizing data storage/retrieval.
  • Cloud experience, especially with cloud-based streaming solutions, data storage, serverless, and elastic scalability.
  • Experience with performance and optimization challenges in distributed, large-scale systems, particularly for real-time data streaming, data modeling, and workflow optimization.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including documenting requirements and technical specifications for streaming systems, data models, and workflows.
  • Ability to evaluate trade-offs between different solutions and choose the most suitable one for real-time data delivery, data modeling, and workflow optimization based on business needs.
  • Bonus points: Amazon AWS, Django, Docker, Kubernetes, and experience with full-stack development and technologies relevant to real-time streaming, data modeling, and workflow optimization.

Good To Have:

  • JavaScript / Java / C# / C++ / Rust / GoLang
  • Image management/compression (JPEG/MPEG family, bonus for HTJ2K), particularly in the context of real-time streaming and efficient data storage.
  • Understanding of Medical Imaging and familiarity with the DICOM file format, especially for efficient transmission, data modeling, and workflow optimization.
  • Cloud Architecture, with a focus on designing scalable and reliable cloud-based streaming, data modeling, and workflow solutions.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
