A global medical technology company is building an advanced robotics platform for orthopaedic surgery, combining real-time imaging and visualisation to improve outcomes for patients. As the platform scales, they're looking for a Senior Software Developer to help shape the architecture behind its imaging and visualisation systems.

What you'll do:

• Design and develop scalable, high-performance software modules integrating MITK, VTK and OpenGL on Linux

• Bring emerging techniques and technologies into the product roadmap

What you'll bring:

• Bachelor's degree and 6+ years of relevant software development experience (or equivalent)
