About Mantyx

Mantyx is at the forefront of innovation with its AI-powered surgical co-pilot, designed to enhance surgical intelligence. Combining advanced computer vision and surgical phase recognition, Mantyx delivers real-time, procedure-aware insights to optimize outcomes for surgical teams. By integrating live video, device signals, and clinical expertise, Mantyx ensures a patient-centric approach across every stage of surgery, from pre-operative planning to post-operative analysis.

We are now introducing AI in robotic surgery through a smart assistant that brings scattered information to the surgeon's fingertips via a voice-controlled interface, improving patient outcomes, sharpening surgical focus, and increasing hospital efficiency.


Your Role

We’re looking for a Junior Software Developer to join our engineering team as we build the software that powers our surgical AI co-pilot, spanning cloud backend services, data pipelines, and the interfaces our AI engineers and clinical partners rely on.

You’ll work closely with senior engineers on real, shipping features from day one — not side projects. This is a hands-on role in a small, fast-moving team, so you’ll get direct mentorship, broad exposure across the stack, and the chance to grow quickly as our platform scales.


What You Will Do

  • Build and maintain features across our backend services and internal tools, working mainly in Python and/or TypeScript

  • Write clean, tested, well-documented code and get comfortable with code review as a two-way conversation

  • Help build and maintain APIs that connect our cloud backend, data pipelines, and clinical-facing applications

  • Support the integration and testing of components that process video, sensor, and clinical data

  • Work with senior engineers to debug issues, improve performance, and harden our CI/CD pipeline

  • Contribute to internal documentation and tooling as the engineering team and processes mature


Your Profile

Must-Haves
  • A master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

  • 0–2 years of professional or substantial project experience with Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or a similar language

  • A solid grasp of programming fundamentals: data structures, version control (Git), APIs, and basic testing practices

  • Curiosity and a genuine drive to learn — you ask questions, look things up, and aren’t afraid to say “I don’t know yet”

  • Comfort working in a small, cross-functional team (engineers, AI specialists, clinical experts)

  • Fluent in English and Dutch

Nice-to-Haves
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker)

  • Basic familiarity with computer vision, machine learning, or data pipelines

  • Interest in healthcare, medtech, or regulated software environments

  • Personal projects, open-source contributions, or internships you’re proud to talk about
