- Own Mission-Critical Components: Direct the technical strategy and development of critical data acquisition and ingestion pipelines, ensuring the seamless, scalable, and secure extraction and normalization of patient data from diverse hospital networks
- Build Enterprise-Grade APIs: Design highly reliable, secure, and low-maintenance APIs (leveraging REST alongside healthcare standards like FHIR and HL7) to securely connect on-premise hospital components to our cloud infrastructure
- Champion Compliance & Security: Drive architectural decisions according to the highest software development best practices, ensuring all data flows and system integrations strictly adhere to the standards and guidance set forth by the FDA and other regulatory bodies
- Provide Technical Leadership: Join a team of high-performing engineers on a mission to revolutionize precision heart care. As a staff-level technical multiplier, you will mentor peers and guide system design
Our take
HeartFlow is a medical equipment manufacturer that uses CT-scanned 3D modelling to assess and analyze a patient's heart and arteries. This non-invasive process can help assess the risks of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and strategize the appropriate treatment.
As the world’s leading cause of death, CAD is a worthy target for improved diagnosis and treatment. HeartFlow's approach enables clinicians to deliver more effective treatments faster, making CAD more manageable than ever before.
The company has a long history of awards and innovations, adopting technological advancements as they happen. It successfully launched its IPO in 2021, although a 2022 merger with Longview Acquisitions was called off due to unfavourable market conditions. Despite this, the company remains steadfast, unveiling new technology that ensures better treatment for CAD patients.
