Job description

About us

Qureight’s mission is to accelerate clinical trials and ensure breakthroughs in lung and heart disease reach patients without delay. Our AI-powered data and imaging curation platform enables the analysis of clinical imaging and other healthcare data, helping our customers bring treatments to market, faster.

We’re looking for talented people who want their work to matter. With offices in Cambridge and London, you’ll join our multidisciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, and engineers. What unites us is our open culture, continuous learning mindset, and a shared mission to help biopharma run faster, smarter trials.

About the role 

We are looking for a Software Engineer to support the scaling of our platform that clinical trials already depend on. We build the vital infrastructure that orchestrates complex workflows across an ever-growing number of global sites and studies. When hospital sites upload CT scans, our platform ensures the imaging securely reaches sponsors, independent reviewer panels, or our core machine learning analysis pipelines. Built on a modern tech stack featuring a Python backend, REST APIs, and React frontends, all running on AWS EKS and deployed via Terraform, what we build matters every single day to advance critical clinical research and change lives.

What you will do  

  • Execute full software development life cycle (SDLC)
  • Develop flowcharts, layouts, and documentation to identify requirements and solutions
  • Write well-designed, testable code
  • Produce specifications and determine operational feasibility
  • Integrate software components into a fully functional software system
  • Document and maintain software functionality
  • Troubleshoot, debug and upgrade existing systems
  • Deploy programs and evaluate user feedback
  • Ensure software is updated with latest features
  • Other activities as required to support company aims and priorities

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Python
  • Experience with Django
  • Experience building, documenting, and testing REST APIs
  • Ability to produce maintainable, testable, documented, production-grade code
  • Experience utilising CI/CD processes (GitLab preferred)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Experience of working in a team using agile methodologies

Even better if you

  • Are comfortable with Unix like operating systems
  • Have experience using Terraform
  • Have experience using Pydantic
  • Have worked with AWS cloud services
  • Have some experience with Javascript, Typescript and React
  • Have familiarity with SQL and good schema design
  • Have experience working with containerised environments (Docker/Kubernetes)
  • Have experience working in a regulated environment

Benefits

  • A comprehensive benefits package that includes an annual bonus plan, private medical insurance, life insurance, and a contributory pension scheme  
  • 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and enhanced maternity leave  
  • A diverse work environment that brings together experts in many fields, including software engineering, DevOps, data science, machine learning, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, and clinical operations.
