Job description

We’re looking for a data and technology-oriented Staff Software Engineering Manager to help us accomplish our mission to improve and extend lives by learning from the experience of every person with cancer. Are you ready to be the next changemaker in cancer care?

Flatiron Health is a healthtech company using data for good to power smarter care for every person with cancer, around the world. Flatiron partners with cancer centers in the US, Europe and Asia to transform patients’ real-life experiences into real-world evidence and create a more modern, connected oncology ecosystem. Our multidisciplinary teams include oncologists, data scientists, software engineers, epidemiologists, product experts and more. Flatiron Health is an independent affiliate of the Roche Group.

What You'll Do

This role will design and develop technology in partnership with software engineering teams across Flatiron, as well as manage engineers in the UK, Germany, and Japan. Additionally, this role will collaborate with other Flatiron employees in the US, and work day-to-day with oncologists, clinicians, product leaders, quantitative scientists, and customers to understand their challenges and how technology can help solve them. In addition you will:

• Provide technical leadership, including shaping the direction of roadmaps and technology development.
• Help build our European engineering teams and company culture as we grow.
• Devise creative solutions for technical and business challenges
• Rapidly iterate on products while maintaining engineering practices that ensure quality and security
• Promote technical excellence and elegant infrastructure design with teammates and customers
• Work with complex data pipelines using a variety of data processing tools
• Bring or develop a deep knowledge of healthcare in the UK, including data sources, security requirements, and emerging trends

Who You Are

You're a kind, passionate and collaborative problem-solver who values the opportunity to think beyond the way things are. You're excited by the prospect of working on difficult and meaningful problems each day. You seek and give candid feedback, and value the chance to make an important impact on cancer patients and society.

• You’re an experienced software engineer with a minimum of 6 years of relevant professional experience and 1-2 years managing engineers
• You're willing to flex between Individual Contributor, Management and Tech Leadership as the team grows and changes
• You are excited to work in a startup environment, think creatively and be scrappy to get the job done
• You have a nose for value and empathy for your customers
• You have experience with agile development environments using programming languages like Python, C++, SQL, Java and R, but are also language agnostic and willing to pick up new programming languages as needed
• You believe in using boring technology (described in this blog post). You're willing to apply the right tools for the job
• You are excited about working in a passionate, fast-paced, technology-driven culture
• You can collaborate and easily explain technical terms to a non-technical, highly sophisticated audience
• You are excited to talk to customers and help design collaboration models that scale across industries
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and always willing to teach and learn

Extra credit

• You have experience working in healthcare in the UK
• You hold a bachelors, masters, and/or Ph.D. in computer science or a related field
• You have experience in machine learning, data engineering, infrastructure, devops, or security engineering

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