• Participate in integration, validation, and user feedback sessions

What You Bring

• 4+ years of professional experience developing graphical user interface software in Python/C++, preferably for medical devices using Qt (PySide) or another regulated domain

• A degree (BSc, MSc, or PhD) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field

• Proficiency with Python, C++, Windows development, and modern application frameworks and libraries (e.g., Qt, OpenGL, Multithreading)

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions)

• Ability to translate system-level requirements into technical implementation

• Strong analytical, collaboration, and communication skills (English required; Dutch a plus)

• Experience with DICOM, HL7, and cybersecurity for medical devices is a huge plus!

What We Offer

• A pivotal role in bringing breakthrough histology solutions to market

• A dynamic, purpose-driven culture within an innovative and fast-growing start-up

• A small international team, where you’ll make significant contributions

• Competitive salary dependent on experience

As a start-up, we know that learning on the job is part of the journey so if you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
