Our Jobs of the Week column today showcases Halifax-based Biotech company Adaptiiv Medical Technologies' search for a Medical Physicist and social media analytics company Dash Hudson's opening for a Senior Full Stack Developer.
Adaptiiv, which raised $3.4 million in equity financing earlier this 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 then is transferred into the tumour.
Dash Hudson is a visual marketing Software-as-a-Service company that helps its clients increase engagement on their social media. Its software, called Vision, is a one-stop spot for clients to manage, source and engage with the traffic of their photos and videos.
