Our product teams thrive in a scaled, agile environment. Architects, product owners, designers and developers collaborate closely to rethink and reimagine. We need your expertise to create software that is simple, elegant, and easy to use. We want to make sure that physicians spend their time fighting cancer, not software.

- Implement and deliver data management and database management functionality to address performance, scalability and operational requirements required.
- Identify and prioritize test cases for automation, considering factors such as criticality, risk, appropriateness for automation and frequency of use.
- Report and track defects in the defect management system, and work with the development team to resolve them.
- Conduct system performance and stability analysis and optimization to ensure scalability, reliability and security.
- Evaluate design alternatives and perform cost benefit analysis, concept exploration and prototyping when necessary.
