"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads That sucks."-Jeff HammerbacherCancer sucks! But, code is powerful, developers are brilliant, and people are resilient.In the high cost world of oncology, trial and error treatment is still the norm despite enormous advances in genomic medicine. Patients are given one-size-fits-all treatments that lead to poor outcomes.
CancerIQ is building intelligent analytical technologies aimed to optimize cancer risk prediction, prevention, and treatment. We do this by providing care providers with workflow tools built upon informed decision engines and data-driven classification models. Our mission strives to engage and educate patients, and guide them through the complex, convoluted, and intimidating journey of cancer prevention.
How do you fit in?
CancerIQ Engineering is looking for curious minds that are hungry for knowledge, want to solve problems, write elegant code, and iterate quickly. We are a group of ambitious devs who love all things science, web, and technology.
No one is just a cog in the machine. Every member of the dev team makes an impact on our software. Most importantly, we learn and grow as a team. If you love to learn about programming paradigms, algorithm optimization, or your editor's dotfiles, this place is for you. You will be challenged.
As a software engineer, you will be immersed in an agile engineering process. You will learn to architect and implement backend and frontend solutions using Javascript, AngularJS, React.js, GraphQL, Node.js, Ruby, Elixir, Rust, and other technologies best-suited for the goals of the CancerIQ platform.
You’ll be developing backend APIs and user-friendly web frontends that can enable clinicians to operate efficiently and gain new insights. Through intuitive visuals and interfaces, you will be creating modern and appealing applications across multiple platforms for patients of all types and demographics.
Requirements
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone that loves all things programming.

We use a mixture of technologies, and focus on those that help us get jobs done most efficiently. You should have knowledge of frontend frameworks such as AngularJS or React, and backend technologies that enable the creation of RESTful APIs. Being able to navigate and contribute to the full stack will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the team.

The desire to learn and help others are two core values that drive us as a development team. We believe that if you aren’t passionate about these values, then we’re not your best fit.
