The Dubra Lab at Stanford University is seeking a highly motivated software developer to create an automated ophthalmic image processing and analysis pipeline, as well as custom novel retinal imaging instrumentation. The resulting software and hardware will be deployed across premier academic centers in the US and Europe to advance our understanding, diagnosing and management of ocular, neurodegenerative and systemic diseases and conditions. This will require the implementation and optimization of novel and sophisticated image algorithms in C++, Python, LabView, OpenGL and CUDA. The candidate must have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Computer engineering. Expertise in designing, developing, testing, and deploying C++ applications using Microsoft Visual Studio is required. Familiarity with the following is highly desirable: Microsoft Team Foundation Server (now Azure DevOps Server), GitHub, Python, SWIG and CUDA. Experience programming hardware such as cameras, frame grabbers, motors, etc. is desirable but not required. The applicant must be experienced with CPU multi-threading and GPU parallel processing programming, as well as profiling and performance optimization.

If appointed, the applicant would collaborate closely and be mentored by colleagues with expertise in firmware, middleware, business logic, user interfaces and databases. Exposure to such a diverse set of technical challenges is an opportunity for acquiring and developing new skills, at the cutting edge of almost all the technologies used in the lab, and thus, provide a strong foundation for a career in R&D. Although not required, the applicant would be able to work hands on with optical instrumentation and develop practical experimental skills.

The candidate would be part of a highly collaborative and welcoming multidisciplinary team with optical designers, computer engineers, vision scientists, students and staff of various backgrounds as well as physicians. If desired, the applicant would have opportunities to present their contributions at conferences and submit for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
