Senior Software Developer

At Vortex, we are building the world's first and only handheld, volumetric, quantitative ultrasound imaging modality.

Conventional ultrasound has reached its fundamental limits. To break through, we looked outside medicine. Our core technology is a geophysics-inspired Full-Wave Inversion (FWI) algorithm, adapted from oil and gas exploration. By running advanced wave physics simulations on multi-GPU cloud compute, we combine mathematics, signal processing, and neural networks to reconstruct quantitative tissue properties that no conventional ultrasound can see.

This is frontier science with immediate medical impact.

The Role

You will work at the intersection of physics, mathematics, software engineering, and deep learning, solving problems that matter.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Implementing sophisticated numerical algorithms running in multi-GPU environments.
• Developing advanced neural networks for imaging and signal reconstruction challenges.
• Designing and building signal processing pipelines on raw ultrasound sensor data.
• Validating solutions through theory, simulation, and laboratory experiments.

Who We Are Looking For​The Mindset

We are looking for creative algorithm thinkers who see problems others don't, enjoy diving into deep technology, and design elegant solutions from first principles.

The people who thrive at Vortex take ownership, move quickly, and are comfortable stepping outside their comfort zone. They are curious, independent, and excited by difficult technical challenges.

​

The Code

Exceptional software engineering skills are mandatory.

We are looking for people who can take ideas all the way to production. The ability to read papers, develop new concepts, and build prototypes is important, but it is not enough.

The strongest candidates can design, implement, test, optimize, and deploy complex systems end-to-end. They write clean, efficient, production-quality Python, move quickly, and consistently turn ambitious ideas into working solutions.

Strong coding ability is a core requirement.

​

Strong Advantages

Experience in one or more of the following areas is a significant advantage:

• Signal Processing (FFT, filtering, wave modeling, spectral analysis)
• Neural Networks (architecture design, training, and optimization)
• GPU/CUDA development
• Inverse problems
• Acoustic simulation
• Medical imaging

​

Why Join Vortex?

Vortex recently completed a $12M funding round and is entering an exciting phase of growth.

Joining now means helping build a completely new imaging modality while working on some of the most challenging problems in computational imaging, wave physics, machine learning, and large-scale computing.
