About Sonio

Each year, 140M children are born. Birth defects affect 1 in 33 births in developed countries, and in 50% of cases, they are not detected during prenatal examinations. Prenatal medicine is particularly complex, and the scans impose heavy responsibilities on healthcare professionals. They can also be a source of stress for future parents.

Resulting from 5 years of collaboration between world-renowned experts from Necker Hospital and Ecole Polytechnique, Sonio uses artificial intelligence to improve prenatal screening and diagnosis. Based on patented algorithms and a proprietary expert database, Sonio aims to become the reference tool to help practitioners improve screening, reduce diagnostic errors, and optimize pregnant women’s medical path.

Sonio's mission is to improve women's and children's health by promoting access and quality of care through technological innovation, medical expertise, and collective intelligence.

About the role

We are currently building our next generation of products that provide real-time assistance to practitioners during fetal ultrasound examinations. We build systems that interface with ultrasound machines (multi-platform edge software), stream imaging data to our cloud (real-time web tech), interpret data and images using AI/ML and push the results back to the practitioner’s interface (reactive web apps) - all in near real-time.

You will work closely with the others in the tech, product and data science teams to build our next products and shape our technical architecture and culture. The main responsibilities are: 

• Develop Sonio product features related to real-time exam quality, collaboration, patient sharing, integrations, etc

• Create and collaborate on technical designs, design data models and implement robust, secure, maintainable code and tests (Elixir/Phoenix, Python/Flask, ReactJS and Go.)

• Collaborate with tech, product and science teams to rapidly iterate on features, test and release (AWS, Terraform and Github Actions)

In the company and particularly in the tech team, everyone enjoys flexibility and autonomy to figure out solutions on their own while feeling very accountable to each other. We particularly like very supportive and responsive people, especially when teammates have new challenges. This is particularly important as the tech team is spread internationally (France, Spain, Bulgaria) and interacts with many other teams within Sonio.
