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.
We are seeking a
Senior Software Engineer
to help design, build, and scale high-quality software systems at Tempus. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who can work across the stack, contribute to architecture and design, improve engineering quality, and collaborate effectively across teams to deliver reliable products and services. Come help our team build the de-identification systems behind Tempus, which turn identified clinical, molecular, and other patient data into research-ready datasets. You'll design and scale the data pipelines and event-driven services that protect patient privacy while preserving the data's analytic utility for precision medicine research.
Why we’re looking for you:
You've got a few years of experience working on software development teams, and can help lead in technical analysis & design, evaluating tradeoffs, and establishing best practices
You love exploring hard problems and solving them with data-driven, iterative software development
You understand the challenges and appreciate the rewards of a distributed and event-based architecture
You've worked in fast-paced, agile environments and helped keep projects on track, troubleshoot roadblocks, write documentation, and coordinate cross-team collaboration
You enjoy learning from and collaborating with a diverse, talented team and mentoring junior team members
Bonus points for:
Experience with Docker, AWS, GCP
Experience in Python, Spark, dbt, SQL, Airflow
Experience in biotech, genomics, and precision medicine
Responsibilities:
Own and deliver projects in service of quarterly goals of the team
Navigate ambiguity and remain resilient through ups and downs
Work collaboratively with leadership to set realistic ambitious goals, breaking those goals down to smaller projects for the team to execute on
Support the growth of teammates by taking into account their skills, background and workstyles
Give constructive feedback, coaching more than criticizing and avoiding blame to solve the right problems. Ultimately, disagreeing and committing when necessary.
Write code that captures the essential nature of the solution and is appropriately flexible, reusable, efficient, and adaptable to changing requirements
Proactively identify issues with technical dependencies of your project that are owned by other teams and surface them
What Success Looks Like
You consistently deliver robust, scalable features across the stack.
You improve system quality through strong design, testing, and code review practices.
You help the team move faster by solving recurring engineering problems.
You collaborate effectively across teams to improve product quality and reliability.
