Director of Software Engineering

T2 Biosystems, founded in 2006 by renowned scientists from MIT and Mass General Hospital, is an in vitro diagnostic company that has developed an innovative and proprietary technology platform that offers a rapid, sensitive and simple alternative to existing diagnostic methodologies.     We are using our T2 Magnetic Resonance platform, or T2MR, to develop a broad set of applications aimed at reducing mortality rates, improving patient outcomes and reducing the cost of healthcare by helping medical professionals make targeted treatment decisions earlier.  T2MR enables rapid detection of pathogens, biomarkers and other abnormalities in a variety of unpurified patient sample types, including whole blood, and can detect cellular targets as limits of detection as low as one colony forming unit per milliliter, or CFU/ml.  Our initial development efforts utilizing T2MR target sepsis and hemostasis, which are areas of significant unmet medical need in which existing therapies could be more effective with improved diagnostics. We have completed a pivotal clinical trial for our T2Dx diagnostic instrument, or T2Dx, and T2 Candida panel, or T2Candida, which have the ability to rapidly identify the five clinically relevant species of Candida, a fungal pathogen known to cause sepsis.

On September 22, 2014, T2 Biosystems received market authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its first two products, the T2Candida® Panel and the T2Dx® Instrument for the direct detection of Candida species in human whole blood specimens from patients with symptoms of, or medical conditions predisposing the patient to, invasive fungal infections. T2Candida and T2Dx, for the first time, provide sensitive detection of specific sepsis-causing pathogens directly from a whole blood specimen in approximately four hours. All other currently FDA-cleared detection systems require cultured blood samples for species-specific identification and take two to five days or more to provide results.

T2 Biosystems was named to the FierceMedicalDevices "Fierce 15" list in 2012, received the prestigious SBANE award in 2013 and received the Most Promising Company award at the Personalized Medicine World Conference in 2014

We are seeking a talented and highly motivated individual to join our team as the Director of Software Engineering reporting to the VP of Engineering.  As a Director of Software Engineering, you will be responsible for leading a team of engineers in design, development, test, and deployment of the Company’s software applications.  This includes building a world-class team, setting standards, designing system architecture and implementing code.

  • Manage the day-to-day development activities of the software engineering team within an Agile/Scrum environment
  • Oversee software release management and engineering
  • Report on status of development, quality, operations, and system performance to management
  • A mixture of new product development and sustaining activities across multiple functional areas
  • Experience with FDA regulated environments is required.

 

 Education and Required Skills:

  • BS in Science or Engineering related fields
