Software Engineer – Front End (Advanced Medical Image Visualization)

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Front-End Software Engineer to build high-performance, browser-based medical imaging viewers for radiology and enterprise healthcare platforms. You will work on advanced 2D/3D medical image visualization, real-time interaction, and clinician-grade user experiences used in diagnostic and clinical workflows.

This role requires strong expertise in modern front-end frameworks, graphics rendering, and medical imaging standards to deliver responsive, scalable, and regulatory-compliant applications.

Key Responsibilities

Medical Image Visualization

• Design and implement high-performance 2D/3D medical image viewers in the browser

• Support DICOM workflows: CT, MR, X-Ray, Ultrasound, PET

• Implement tools such as:

  • Window/Level, Zoom, Pan, Rotate

  • Measurements (length, angle, area, HU)

  • MPR, MIP, Volume Rendering (where applicable)

  • Annotations, overlays, and GSPS rendering

• Handle large datasets (hundreds/thousands of images per study) efficiently

Front-End Engineering

• Build scalable UI components using React / Angular / Vue

• Develop responsive, clinician-friendly UX for diagnostic use cases

• Optimize rendering performance using WebGL / Canvas / WebGPU

• Implement state management for complex workflows (study, series, viewport states)

Integration & Architecture

• Integrate viewers with PACS, RIS, VNA, AI services, and backend APIs

• Consume REST / GraphQL APIs for metadata, reports, and AI results

• Support non-DICOM content (PDF, JPEG, MP4, ECG, Waveforms)

• Collaborate with backend and AI teams for end-to-end workflows

Quality, Security & Compliance

• Ensure compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and healthcare security standards

• Implement role-based UI behavior and audit-safe interactions

• Write unit, integration, and performance tests

• Participate in code reviews and UI/UX design discussions

Requirements

Required Skills & Qualifications

Core Front-End Skills

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript

• Expertise in React (preferred) or Angular/Vue

• Deep understanding of HTML5, CSS3, responsive design

• Experience with state management (Redux, Zustand, RxJS, etc.)

Visualization & Performance

• Hands-on experience with WebGL, Three.js, VTK.js, Cornerstone.js, or similar

• Strong understanding of graphics pipelines, rendering optimization, and memory management

• Experience handling large image datasets and streaming data

Medical Imaging Knowledge (Strongly Preferred)

• Understanding of DICOM, Study/Series/Image hierarchy

• Familiarity with:

  • PACS / VNA / Enterprise Imaging Viewers

  • Radiology workflows and terminology

  • GSPS, SR, overlays, AI annotations

Good to Have

• 3 - 8yrs of relevant experience

• Experience with 3D volume rendering, segmentation, or AI overlays

• Knowledge of WebAssembly (WASM) for performance-critical modules

• Experience with Electron or desktop hybrid viewers

• Familiarity with FHIR ImagingStudy, HL7, or IHE profiles

• Exposure to cloud-native healthcare platforms (GCP/AWS/Azure)

Education

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

What You’ll Work On

• Diagnostic-grade imaging viewers used by radiologists and clinicians

• Enterprise viewers combining imaging, reports, AI insights, and collaboration

• High-impact healthcare products improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency
