About the Company

Improve the World

Our mission is to improve healthcare and laboratory testing throughout the world. We improve the work environment for our users, improve the accuracy of tests, and lower costs and turnaround times for the healthcare system. We push new innovation in technology, workflow, and regulations to make the healthcare system the best it can be. We have already improved accuracy in laboratory testing that has prevented misdiagnoses, and we are striving to do more.

Challenging Hard Problems

We need to analyze the equivalent of movie's worth of images in the cloud in only a few minutes while staying reliable and accurate. Major challenges include transferring, processing, and storing terabytes of data; creating queuing systems that balance turnaround times with costs; and building a pipeline around machine learning models that meet the accuracy requirements of human healthcare.

Work from Home

While we do have offices available for use, the majority of our workforce spends the most, if not all, of their time working from the comfort of their home. Every team member has a daily standup meeting to touch base with their team and a monthly all hands meeting for the whole company to get updates. Additional meetings are created as needed, and the majority are impromptu.

There may be some travel to possible study sites which we foresee being less than 10% of the time.

We offer perks to help our employees thrive!

• Competitive salaries
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k plan
