What you need

  • 5+ years of industry experience in research, systems engineering, or a related field, ideally in medical imaging, medical devices, or another regulated domain
  • Proven track record translating complex projects or research needs into clear, executable programs and driving them from planning through delivery
  • Working knowledge of methods for evaluating data and experiment quality, including reproducibility, agreement, and error detection
  • Solid understanding of medical image data structures and imaging workflows (e.g., DICOM)
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL for building and validating data pipelines, computing quality metrics, and producing dataset documentation

Nice to have

  • Experience running annotation or ground-truth campaigns for medical imaging AI, especially CT or cardiovascular imaging (CCTA)
  • Familiarity with reproducibility and agreement statistics (e.g., intraclass correlation, Bland-Altman) as they apply to reader studies and ground truth
  • Experience with large-scale data querying using SQL and cloud storage such as AWS

What you get

  • A reasonable estimate of the base salary compensation range is $150,000 to $185,000, bonus, and equity

Worth weighing
