Meet Syapse
Maybe you’ve supported a friend or family member who’s dealing with cancer. Maybe you’ve battled it yourself. At Syapse, our mission is to enable healthcare providers to deliver the best care to every cancer patient through precision medicine. Our personal connections to this mission unite us.
We integrate genomics and clinical data on a single platform and allow doctors to share important treatment and outcomes information across a national network. Our customers manage more than 1 million active cancer cases at hundreds of hospitals across the US and Asia. Now, we’re racing to meet growing demand and bring precision cancer care to every patient, regardless of location or income.
About the role
You will join our newly-formed ecosystem team whose focus is to develop data-intensive applications that are the bridge between our health-system customers and companies in the healthcare ecosystem pioneering the use of data in the treatment of cancer. As an early member of the team, you will have a unique opportunity to establish new infrastructure and processes that enable us to deliver insights that drive the practice of precision medicine forward. You will design and build out the applications and tooling that make data more accessible and enable analytics pipelines, data visualization, and other services.
Our team is based out of Syapse’s East Coast office and takes pride in our unique culture and environment. Our mission as a company is a serious one, so you can expect to join a nimble team that strives for ever increasing standards of delivery with quality. Fortunately, when you love what you do and you are surrounded by great people, you can grow and accomplish more than you think possible.

About the Syapse Engineering Team
The Engineering team at Syapse builds our revolutionary oncology decision support platform that empowers physicians to deliver consistent, high-quality precision cancer care. We’re scaling our data platform using distributed systems, stream processing, and microservices. To do this and tackle all our engineering challenges, our autonomous, customer value focused scrum teams work in short sprints and own product areas end to end. Our domain-based guilds (e.g. Data Semantics, Web Technology, Architecture) balance that by encouraging the building of communities and foster collaboration across teams.
As Syapse continues to grow, we’ll use advanced software engineering methods to expand the capabilities of the platform—and help deliver the best cancer care to every patient.
