Full Job Description
About our Company: Universal DX, Inc. is an international Company with a highly experienced team focused on cracking cancer’s code. Through our multi-omics and bioinformatics models, we have figured out how to read the disease’s signals in blood with high accuracy to detect cancer in its earliest stages. Starting with a colorectal cancer screening liquid biopsy test, we are building a multi-cancer platform that can identify the unique DNA regions associated with different types of cancers. The Opportunity: Universal DX is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our growing team. You will be a key technical contributor building and scaling the backend services and data APIs that power our observability and analytics platform. You will own features end-to-end, from API design through deployment on Kubernetes, and collaborate closely with SREs, data engineers, and product stakeholders. You will be part of a team that is passionate about developing novel diagnostic tests for the early detection of cancers. As part of the team, you will be in a Company that aims more than to become one of the leaders in the industry. We want to have a huge positive impact on society by achieving the ambitious purpose of “making cancer a curable disease by detecting it earlier”. How you’ll contribute: Design, build, and maintain production-grade NestJS APIs and backend services that serve internal and external consumers. Own the full lifecycle of a service: schema design, business logic, observability instrumentation, Helm chart configuration, and GitOps deployment. Write and manage database migrations using Prisma; ensure schema changes are safe for zero-downtime deployments. Implement health endpoints, SLIs, and structured logging patterns that give the SRE team the signals they need. Collaborate with data engineers to build APIs over Trino and data lake sources (S3/Glue/Iceberg), translating complex analytical queries into reliable, performant endpoints. Write and
