Responsibilities

  • Devise creative solutions to solve tough business, security, and data privacy challenges
  • Build and maintain data infrastructure systems that are flexible, scalable, and meet the needs of a rapidly changing business
  • Rapidly iterate on products early in the development of product-market fit
  • Promote technical best practices with teammates
  • Work with complex data pipelines using a variety of data processing tools
  • Bring or develop a deep knowledge of healthcare technology in Japan, including data sources, sector-wide requirements, and emerging trends

Job Requirements

  • You have worked in a collaborative agile development environment using programming languages like Python, C#,  and Java, but are also a quick learner. Bonus points if you are an experienced Python specialist or have an affinity for infrastructure and networking

  • You are fluent (or professional-level) in both Japanese and English
  • You are excited to work in a small-team environment and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. You have an entrepreneurial spirit, “get it done” mentality, a nose for value and empathy for your customer
  • You are an effective communicator who is equally comfortable telling a compelling story to stakeholders, clinicians, engineers and customers.
  • You care more about our patients, customers, and advancing cancer treatment than you do about working with the coolest/newest technology
