Our client, a leader in healthcare/hospital, is looking for a skilled Software Engineer (Python) to join their team for a 2‑month project engagement.
This project involves the development of a modular Python‑based productivity platform designed to support and streamline radiologist workflow. The central component is a Python helper application capable of integrating with a Chrome extension and future APIs to extract, process, and intelligently route study data. This is a high‑impact role that requires a self‑motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Module 1: DOM Data Extraction & Structuring:
  Extend the Chrome extension to robustly extract study data from dynamic tables in Clario, capture current study, prior studies, patient details, and exam metadata, and format output as structured JSON for ingestion by the Python helper.
• Module 2:
  Web Socket Server Integration:
  Establish persistent, bidirectional Web Socket communication between the Chrome extension and Python helper, supporting live data transfer on patient switch, config sync, and error recovery.
• Module 3:
  Filtering Engine Enhancements:
  Refactor filtering logic to read from .json, support smart anatomical, laterality, contrast, and modality‑aware filtering, log and rank relevant priors based on defined logic, and future‑proof architecture to support study‑specific overrides and learning from manual user edits.
• Module 4: UI Components for Priors & Configuration:
  Develop Chrome extension interface to display active and prior studies, show selected relevant priors, and allow manual inclusion/exclusion with sync to Python helper. Optionally develop a React or PySide desktop dashboard for more complex config editing.
• Module 5:
  Report Input & AI Integration (Future‑ready):
  Enable the Python helper to detect specific study types (e.g., calcium scoring), trigger screenshot capture of study panel layout, send screenshot to OpenAI Vision (or similar API), receive templated text report, and insert into Power Scribe (or alternative dictation tool), while maintaining modularity to allow future integration of other data types and endpoints.

• X+ years of experience in a similar role.
• Deep expertise in Python, Chrome extension development, Web Socket communication, and potentially React or PySide for UI components. This isn’t a learning role—you need to be a subject‑matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience with Agile methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, Git version control.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
