Junior Frontend Engineer (d/f/m)

Why us?

We believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize how cancer and other complex diseases are diagnosed and treated. We also believe that AI is a tool, not an identity – without access to high quality data and a scientifically rigorous, transparent approach to model development, AI is just a buzzword. That's where we come in.

Aignostics is a spin-off from one of Europe's largest and most prestigious university hospitals (Charité), with employees in Berlin and New York. We have received over $50M in funding from leading investors and are a growing team of over 100 interdisciplinary professionals. We work with academic partners as well as leading global life sciences companies.

As a Junior Frontend Engineer at Aignostics, you will be an integral part of our development team working on our cutting-edge web application for digital pathology. You'll help implement user interfaces that transform complex biomedical data into clear, intuitive displays for cancer research and diagnostics. Working alongside experienced engineers, you'll learn to translate intricate biomedical data requirements into clean, efficient code. You'll assist in building and maintaining features, focusing on code quality and performance optimization. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams - including senior engineers, product management, pathologists, designers, and backend teams. You'll learn about platform architecture best practices while developing a strong foundation in engineering standards. You'll be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, and gradually take on more responsibility as you grow in your role.

This is a unique opportunity to join a fun, diverse, and growing team of 100+ data scientists, software developers, biologists, and pathologists to shape the next generation of cancer treatments. You will be part of a driven community that works in an agile, supportive and interdisciplinary research environment where your results make a difference to patients. In our established startup you have the opportunity to grow personally and technically, take responsibility and benefit from a dynamic work environment.

At Aignostics, we believe that fighting cancer is a job for people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures. We value and celebrate diversity and inclusion and are committed to offering equal employment and promotion opportunities for all applicants and employees. Applicants will be considered regardless of their age, disability, ethnicity, race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, etc. We thrive through collaboration and believe the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
