If this sounds like you, join the SOPHiA GENETICS Corporate Strategy team as our new Software Development Engineer, Internal Projects and enable us to build the internal capabilities that accelerate our mission of democratizing data-driven medicine for patients worldwide.

Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule, partnering closely with colleagues and leaders (Like the VP, Corporate Strategy) 3 days per week at our corporate office in Boston, MA.

Our Mission

Your Mission

Reporting to the VP, Corporate Strategy, you'll build internal products, automations, and workflows that improve how teams across the business operate.

The value you bring:

• Build internal products and automations: Work with teams across the company to identify useful internal projects and write the software that delivers them.
• Roll out tools that teams use: Help teams adopt the tools you build, with a focus on improving their day-to-day work and delivering business impact.
• Process and tooling improvements: Examine and improve internal tooling, data flows, and processes, including end-to-end data architecture, starting with sales.
• Internal consulting on engineering practices: Advise leadership on software development benchmarks and best practices, drawing on your own experience building and delivering software.
• Cross-functional alignment: Translate between business needs and technical decisions, and communicate clearly with engineering, product, and other teams.

• 5+ years of experience with a senior engineer or product manager background from a top tech company building complex products.
• Beyond engineering, you'll have direct working experience of working with Generative AI tools to deploy Functionallity or Enablement within an organisation.
• Strong hands-on building skills. you ship working software, not just diagrams. AI fluency is essential (LLMs, automation, modern AI tooling).
• Dialed into modern engineering and product practices.
• Confident operator - you can walk into any function, diagnose what's broken, and drive change.
• Strong change management instincts - you can win over skeptical teams and make new ways of working stick.
• Comfortable moving between strategy conversations and shipping code in the same week.

You will be joining an organization with the patient at the heart of every decision and action, driven by purpose as we pursue exponential growth.
