ABOUT US

Hypervision Surgical Ltd is a spin-out company formed from King’s College London and was founded by a team of clinicians, medical imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) experts. Based on safe light alone, our goal is to equip clinicians with advanced computer-assisted tissue analysis for improved surgical precision and patient safety.
We have developed a computational Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) system for improved intraoperative surgical guidance. HSI is a safe optical imaging modality perfectly suited for the clinic. By splitting light into multiple wavelengths far beyond what the naked eye can see, HSI carries diagnostic information about tissue properties ideal for objective tissue characterisation. This will objectively enhance the surgeon’s ability to visualise and characterise tissue intraoperatively without injecting any toxic contrast agents. In addition, our system can monitor vital physiological tissue properties, thereby increasing surgical precision and patient safety while optimising resection.
Following successful in-patient clinical studies and development of a commercial medical device, we are excited to now place our patented technology into the hands of surgeons.
We are building our company at the intersection of surgery, machine learning and interventional image computing for optical systems to increase surgical precision and patient safety. We are backed by a highly experienced syndicate of European and American HealthTech investors, including the corporate venture arm of ZEISS, a multinational technology leader. In addition, we are supported by the British Royal Academy of Engineering, Innovate UK, NIHR (National Institute for Health Research), the Creative Destruction Lab, and King’s Health Partners MedTech Innovations to improve surgical care.
Join us and help shape our growth toward Series A and beyond.

THE ROLE

We are seeking a curious, creative and motivated individual who rises to the challenges of continuing to build an innovation-driven start-up. As we progress towards Series A funding, this is a unique opportunity to help define the future of surgery and play a significant role in shaping the company’s product. This role is available at Software Engineer and Senior Software Engineer level, depending on experience.

As our (Senior) Software Engineer, you will contribute to ongoing improvements and upgrades to our surgical hyperspectral imaging system. In particular, you will:

• suggest and develop new product features and support them through to release into a medically regulated environment;
• hold responsibility in designing, developing and maintaining software components in C++ and Python;
• collaborate with other software engineers and imaging scientists as well as regulatory and clinical experts to ensure our software architecture and development framework are scalable, efficient and compliant with regulations;
• work across all areas of our application and supporting infrastructure, including:
• real-time, low-latency GPU processing and visualisation of hyperspectral video streams;
• server-/cloud-based data management and analysis of large surgical datasets and associated metadata;
• UI frameworks for use in a surgical setting;
• continuous integration workflows and software development planning, tracking and scheduling tools;
• implement best practices in terms of cybersecurity to ensure the security of patient health information.

At Hypervision Surgical, we welcome candidates who have the core skills for the post and are keen to learn and grow with us. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where a diverse mix of talented people come and enjoy working with each other. By working together, we will change the way surgery is performed and improve patient care.
