Would you like to join a dynamic and exciting Software Engineering and Technical Operations team that uses cutting edge technologies to deliver a world changing product that has a direct impact on the lives of cancer and rare disease patients worldwide? SOPHiA GENETICS (NASDAQ: SOPH) was founded to generate clinically actionable insights from data to improve patient outcomes. Our mission is to provide equal access to medical insights, knowledge, and capabilities by democratizing data-driven medicine.
We observed that across the healthcare ecosystem, a vast amount of digital healthcare data is being generated, fueled by technologies such as next-generation sequencing ("NGS"). This data holds promise to accelerate our understanding of biology and disease. However, the data has remained siloed and complex and has not been fully leveraged for the benefit of patients.
We founded SOPHiA GENETICS to change this. We are unlocking data silos, leveraging artificial intelligence to generate actionable insights from data, and helping healthcare professionals work together as a community to deploy their collective expertise. Our goal is to empower clinicians and researchers around the world to practice data-driven medicine and improve clinical and scientific outcomes.
Join our growing team and use your exceptional technical and leadership skills to help us deliver on our mission of democratizing Data-Driven Medicine. Our products are used by thousands of healthcare institutions globally and provide world leading capabilities for the analysis of genomic, clinical, and imaging data.
In order to augment our Technical Operations, we are looking for a Senior Database Administrator (DBA), in Bidart, France.
