## About IDM

IDM gGmbH is a nonprofit health-tech company building AI-powered products that physicians use every day. Our technology runs at **University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE)** and at further university hospitals, hospital groups and practices across Germany.

We develop two core products: **ARGO**, a platform for clinical documentation built on FHIR that connects a hospital's existing systems, and **ORPHEUS**, AI speech recognition and ambient documentation for clinical notes. As an agile startup, we move fast, ship often, and give our engineers real ownership over architecture decisions.

## The Role

As our Product Engineer, you will build and ship features end-to-end — from polished UI components to robust API endpoints. You will work on products that clinicians interact with daily, collaborating directly with ML engineers and medical professionals.

This is not a ticket-factory role. You will have genuine influence on technology choices, architecture, and product direction. We value engineers who think beyond their assigned tasks and care deeply about code quality, user experience, and developer ergonomics.

## What You Will Do

- **Build clinical applications end-to-end:** Develop functional frontends and integrate them with our C# and Python backends for ARGO and ORPHEUS.
- **Frontend development:** Design and implement component architectures in Vue.js/Nuxt with clean patterns, state management, and thorough testing.
- **Backend development:** Build and maintain APIs and services in C#/.NET 8 (EF Core, FastEndpoints) and Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy).
- **DevOps and infrastructure:** Work with Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Jenkins and monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus) to ensure reliable deployments.
- **Shape the architecture:** Propose and implement improvements to our tech stack, patterns, and development workflows.
- **Collaborate across disciplines:** Work directly with ML engineers, product owners, and clinical partners to translate requirements into working software.
