A pair of openings at Halifax-based medtech company Adaptiiv – for a Senior Software Engineer and a DevOps Engineer – headline our Jobs of the Week column today.

Adaptiiv, which raised $3.4 million in equity financing last year, has developed a system that 3D prints a bolus – a piece of plastic that is placed over the cancerous area in a patient undergoing radiation therapy. The radiation hits the bolus, builds up and is transferred into the tumour while other flesh is protected.

The Job of the Week column features openings posted on the Entrevestor Job Board, which focuses on jobs in technology, innovation and startups in Atlantic Canada. The Entrevestor Job Board helps match job openings and candidates in the tech and startup communities and is operated by Entrevestor and Alongside.

The following are excerpts from this week’s postings:
