Tempus is revolutionizing healthcare through its proprietary AI-powered platform that connects real-world evidence to deliver actionable insights to physicians. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Transforms Platform team, you'll be instrumental in developing cutting-edge technology that directly impacts patient care.

The role focuses on building and maintaining the Transforms platform, a critical system that enables bioinformatics scientists, data scientists, and ML developers to efficiently develop and deploy their algorithms and models in a highly regulated, secure, and scalable production environment. This platform handles technical architecture, cloud infrastructure, security, and compliance, allowing users to focus on their expertise and deliver value for Tempus customers and patients.

You'll work with TypeScript and Node.js, leveraging containerization technologies and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS) to build robust backend services. The position requires strong technical skills in software engineering, particularly in container orchestration, database design, and system monitoring. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and take operational responsibility for production systems.

The role offers an opportunity to work on meaningful healthcare technology that helps patients live longer, healthier lives. You'll be part of a company that values innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. The position offers competitive compensation ($110,000-$160,000) and is based in Chicago with a hybrid work arrangement.
