📋 Description

• Architect Core Interoperability Libraries: Design, build, and maintain high-performance libraries in Python (and potentially Rust) for mapping, transforming, and validating massive clinical datasets. • Develop Declarative Data Mapping Engines: Create sophisticated tools that allow domain experts to define complex data transformations using simple, clear, domain-specific languages (DSLs), separating the "what" from the "how." • Build Advanced Terminology Services: Engineer libraries that handle the complex logic of mapping clinical terminologies, normalizing units of measure, and ensuring semantic consistency across disparate datasets. • Create Robust Data Model Abstractions: Develop strongly-typed data access layers and handlers that abstract away the underlying storage (e.g., SQL databases, Parquet files, JSON documents), presenting a unified interface for data manipulation. • Champion Software Engineering Excellence: Drive best practices in API design, testing, documentation, and tooling. You will produce libraries that are not only powerful but also a pleasure for other developers to use. • Collaborate and Innovate: Work closely with data engineers, informaticians, and scientists to understand their deepest challenges and create the foundational tools they need to succeed.

🎯 Requirements

• A profound passion for building elegant, high-quality developer tools and libraries. • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related engineering field with 8+ years of professional software development experience. • Expert-level proficiency in Python, with deep knowledge of its object model, type system, and performance characteristics. You write clean, idiomatic, and highly testable code. • Proven experience designing and building libraries or frameworks for other developers. Your resume shows a history of creating successful abstractions. • A strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and compiler/interpreter design (e.g., experience with parsing, abstract syntax trees, etc.). • Experience with modern software development practices: version control (Git), CI/CD, comprehensive unit testing, and meticulous documentation.
