Software Engineer, Python, DevOps

Skope is a well-established, entrepreneurial company that is part of the Canon Inc. Group. Skope develops solutions for scientific MR imaging labs and for clinical activities. With these solutions, our customers can perform MR imaging with unprecedented accuracy and speed, positively impacting the quality of life.

You will be working in a small, highly collaborative team responsible for the development of Skope’s product software. The role covers a broad spectrum of software engineering activities, ranging from system architecture and algorithm design to deployment, infrastructure, and operational support.

You will contribute to scientific data processing and precision instrumentation software, working across efficient C++ algorithms, open-source Python projects, and selected proprietary frameworks, including .NET applications. This role requires strong fundamentals in the software development lifecycle, combined with a high motivation to explore and adopt new tools, concepts, and infrastructure.

In addition to hands‑on development, you bring a product mindset and take ownership of systems throughout their lifecycle from initial design to deployment and operation. You will collaborate closely not only within the team but also with external developers and partners from an international network.
