Senior Software Engineer (Python)

About Gold Standard Phantoms:

Gold Standard Phantoms (GSP) is an established spin-out company from University College London,
operating within the medical imaging industry. We develop, manufacture and sell specialised test objects,
called phantoms, and advanced image analysis software services for use in testing the performance of
MRI scanners and ensure that they operate in a standardised way. Our devices are used by clinicians,
medical physicists, and radiographers around the world, empowering them to improve the quality of the
MRI images they produce to diagnose illness, and investigate and research disease and new therapies.
The company is entering a new growth phase, with the planned release of new products in the pipeline,
and is establishing a new base in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

This year, we will be developing a platform technology to address a limitation of MRI systems and by doing
so, increase cancer diagnosis accuracy. Our success in this mission has the potential to improve cancer
patient diagnosis, prognosis, and quality of live, whilst having huge savings benefits for worldwide
healthcare systems.

Role overview:
We are currently looking for an experienced Python Developer to join our growing MedTech organisation
made up of a team of engineers, scientists, and clinicians that are on a mission to enable medical imaging
to move to a quantitative and reproducible scientific measurement methodology in order to revolutionise
the field of radiology.

Responsibilities include participating in all phases of the software development lifecycle, working within
the product development team, assisting with the R&D and design of new products, as well as maintaining
the product life cycle of existing products. You will play a key role in developing and releasing new

in the form of software tooling and IT infrastructure to help improve our productivity.
If you’re a seasoned Python developer with a love for back-end technologies, we’d like to meet you. Your
ultimate goal is to create high-quality products that meet an important clinical need.

Our engineering values:
Focus on the Product

Key reading: The Product-Minded Software Engineer (Gergely Orosz)

We should be viewing ourselves as “product engineers” or “product-minded engineers”, rather than
software engineers/developers. Product-minded engineers are developers with lots of interest in the
product itself. They want to understand why decisions are made, how people use the product, and love
to be involved in making product decisions.

Choose Boring Technology

Key reading: Boring Technology (Dan McKinley)

Embrace Boredom!

Good practice is to innovate when innovation is necessary, and not to innovate where it is not. If you are
looking to use a technology, base this decision on the level of stability and maturity that this technology
has achieved.

Boring is not bad. MySQL is boring. PostgreSQL is boring. PHP is boring. Python is boring. Memcached is
boring. Cron is boring. The nice thing about boringness is that the capabilities of these things are well
understood. But more importantly, their failure modes are well understood.
Optimise Globally

Adding technology to your company comes with a cost, therefore the “best tool for the job” is not always
the optimal solution. It might be that the best tool for a particular job is to write a high-optimised library
in C++, but we need to consider the long-term costs/risks of supporting C++ in our tech-stack. It might
have been better to write the library in Python and deal with the optimisation issues elsewhere.
It is basically always the case that the long-term costs of keeping a system working reliably vastly exceed
any inconveniences you encounter while building it. Mature and productive developers understand this.
