Software Engineer
Pontiro | Newport, South Wales | Hybrid | Permanent, full time
About Pontiro
Pontiro is an independent evaluation company for healthcare AI. We work with hospitals, healthcare providers and AI vendors to understand how AI tools perform in real clinical settings.
We also build anonymisation tooling for medical imaging and clinical data, allowing organisations to use it for research and development while protecting patient privacy.
We are a startup based in Newport, South Wales, with platforms already running in live healthcare environments. The team is small and growing, and there is considerable scope to shape both the product and the way we build it.
The role
We are hiring a Software Engineer to help build and scale our evaluation and anonymisation platforms. You will work closely with our Chief Technology Officer on the systems that process clinical data, run evaluations and deliver results to customers.
This is a broad engineering role with significant ownership. You will work across the stack, from data processing and APIs through to reporting interfaces and production deployment, and you will see the direct effect of your work in live healthcare environments.
