About Us:

Advancements in information technology and artificial intelligence are reshaping the landscape of pathology, and we are at the forefront of this transformation. The strategic research project "Pathology services in the Western Norway Health Region – a centre for applied digitization", based in both Stavanger and Bergen, is driving the development of AI models to support pathology departments and pathologists in their diagnostic work, with a particular focus on cancer, chronic kidney disease, and workflow optimization. The research group has recently secured additional funding for a follow-up project titled "Advancing AI-enhanced pathology diagnostics of chronic kidney disease: Identifying, visualizing, and interpreting prognostic features."
Position Overview: We are looking for a developer who is excited about building user interfaces that bridge the gap between advanced AI tools and the everyday workflow of pathologists. You will help us develop and implement laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) within our running digital pathology system.
The candidate should be familiar with full-stack software development for the implementation and integration of the user interface within our existing IT infrastructure. For these tasks, you will have the support of Helse Vest IKT, which may provide supervision and guidance during the project.
You’ll collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team with both clinical and IT background consisting of developers, data scientists, and pathologists to understand practical needs and translate them into robust and clinically meaningful features within the digital pathology platform (Sectra). As part of the team, you'll also contribute to ensuring performance, usability, and stability in demanding real-world laboratory settings. We value a thoughtful approach to development and invite you to actively participate in shaping best practices for the design, testing, and deployment of clinical-grade software tools.
Work environment: Employment at the Department of Pathology, Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Helse Bergen. Day-to-day work placement in Eitri Medical Incubator. Involvement in regular research meetings. Full-time or part-time by agreement.

Qualifications

Required qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master's degree in software engineering, computer science, information technology or a related field. Relevant work experience can compensate for a lack of formal education.
Proficiency in Microsoft.NET (C#, ASP.NET, Enity Framework, MVC, SQL) and Angular (TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS).
Familiarity with REST APIs and working alongside backend and infrastructure teams.
Familiar with Git/version control.
Proficiency in spoken and written English.

Desired qualifications:

Experience in medical or scientific software, or an interest in digital pathology or clinical applications.
Experience with working in different operating systems, setup and operation of Linux-based OS.
Experience with Azure cloud Infrastructure.
Experience in building UIs for complex systems including interactive visualization/drawing interfaces — healthcare or data-heavy applications are a plus.
Knowledge about developing machine/deep learning solutions using Python.
Experience in management and analysis of clinical data and images.
Previous experience working at the intersection of technology and healthcare.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate in interdisciplinary environments.

Personal qualities

We are looking for motivated and curious individuals with a passion for technology and a drive to make a real-world impact. You should be structured and analytical, yet adaptable and solution-oriented in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment. Strong collaboration and communication skills are essential, as you’ll be working closely with software developers and IT professionals from Helse Vest IKT, as well as researchers and pathologists from the pathology department. If you are eager to grow, take initiative, and contribute both independently and as part of a team, we would be excited to hear from you.

We offer

A chance to work at the intersection of computer science and medicine, making a real difference
A highly collaborative and interdisciplinary team, with colleagues from AI, pathology, and ICT
An opportunity to contribute to the implementation of cutting-edge tools in a real-world healthcare setting
Flexible working conditions, with support for professional growth and development

Diversity statement
We want to reflect the diversity of the population in our recruitment. We encourage everyone who is qualified to apply for vacant positions regardless of gender, age, disability, and multicultural background. The same applies if you have had a long period of absence from the labour market. Helse Vest wants to organise for inclusive recruitment.
