Overview:
The Core Diabetes Model is a disease-simulation model used to inform health policy decisions and conduct economic evaluations for interventions aimed at controlling diseases by delaying the occurrence of their complications.
You will support the development team in refactoring and optimizing the existing C++ codebases with outlook to their extension to new therapeutic areas.
The ideal candidate will possess a junior/middle C++ technical background with passion for writing clean, efficient code as well as a genuine interest in developing code for the healthcare sector.
If you are interested in disease and health-care related processes simulation modelling and wish to apply your technical skills to help inform healthcare decision making, this is the role for you.
Job Activities:
- Work with the team in reviewing and refactoring legacy codebases.
- Work with the team to extend the current models with new features, diseases and comorbidities.
- Implement best practices in software design and development.
- Ensure code quality through rigorous testing and code reviews.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes.
- Co-writing code documentation and technical reports (Word, PPT, Excel), inside and outside the team
Qualifications
- BSc degree in Medical/Biomedical sciences/Engineering, or Mathematics
- Demonstrable interest in population health science, public health, epidemiology
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in C++ development, with proficiency in C++17 or later versions.
- Solid understanding and practical application of design patterns.
- Experience with unit testing frameworks (e.g., Google Test).
- Experience with SQL databases and writing efficient queries.
- Proven experience working with large scientific codebases (200,000 - 300,000 lines of code or more).
