Job Summary
Clinicians, laboratory staff, pathologists, and most of all, patients are at the heart of what you will do. Making sure they deliver and receive critical healthcare information is central to your role. You will translate complex clinical workflows into clear, accessible and scalable front-end solutions. Not just so healthcare professionals can retrieve the information they need, but can do so using a platform and interface that is seamless, effortless and intuitive.
Branching out of the software engineering team, you will also leverage opportunities to work with product and clinical stakeholders internally at Cyted, and externally. With curiosity and passion, you will own and elevate discovery through to delivery whilst engaging directly with users to ground solutions in real word challenges.
We love inventive and innovative perspectives to bring fresh approaches that lead the way we build robust and reusable components to strengthen the front-end architecture. Boldly raising our engineering standards across the team and internationally into the US is exactly what we want. You will immerse yourself in challenging assumptions, driving practical solutions and reliably step up to shape how our team delivers high quality to clinicians, laboratory staff, pathologists and patients.
Working Pattern and Location
This role is a full-time position with a standard 37.5 hour working week.
You will be based at the Cyted’s Head Office, Ground Floor, Building 3, Old Swiss, 149 Cherry Hinton Road, Cambridge, CB1 7BX, UK and be expected to be in the office 3 days per week.
How we work
At Cyted, how we work is just as important as the impact we create. Following our recent Series B fund raise and with increasing national attention, we’re entering a defining stage of growth - and our values guide how we scale. As a senior software engineer, you’ll bring those values to life in the way you design, build and ship technology that matters.
We care deeply about the patients we serve and the clinicians who rely on our diagnostics. For you, care means building systems that are reliable, intuitive and resilient. It means understanding the pressures on our users and designing technology that reduces friction rather than adding to it. You’ll bring empathy and clarity into your engineering decisions, always anchoring your work in the reality of clinical environments.
We expect you to own your work with confidence and credibility. You’ll take responsibility for the systems you build, the decisions you make and the outcomes they drive. You’ll move with purpose, lead technically when needed and set high standards for the team around you.
We aim high. We’re scaling fast and building in a complex, regulated space, but we’re not here to follow. You’ll help define what great engineering looks like in a new category of diagnostics. You’ll set ambitious technical goals, shape our architecture and deliver systems that clinicians can trust at scale.
You’ll be expected to dive deep. You’ll understand the science, the data flows, the workflow logic and the constraints of real-world clinical settings. You’ll learn the detail behind our technology, anticipate edge cases and solve problems rather than passing them along. You’ll be as comfortable getting into the specifics of a diagnostic workflow as debugging a distributed system.
We encourage everyone to challenge and commit. You’ll play a part in shaping how our engineering team works, what we prioritise and how we grow. You’ll question assumptions, propose better approaches and be open to critique. And once we choose a direction, you’ll go all-in and drive it forward with clarity and conviction.
And above all, we deliver. This role demands momentum, ownership and results. You’ll write the code, shape the architecture, resolve the bottlenecks and push the platform forward. Every service you ship, integration you refine and problem you resolve brings us closer to earlier, better care for patients.
This is how we work at Cyted. If this is the environment where you do your best engineering, we should talk.
