Technical Operations Engineer

At nFerence Labs, the "Google of Biomedicine" (See also nference.ai/news for more information on our research work especially pertaining to Covid19), we are building the world's first massive-scale platform for pharmaco-biomedical computing. Our platform is premised on using AI/Deep Learning (on clinical text, medical images, and other signals) and massive high-performance computing to help pharma companies perform faster and more efficient drug discovery, and also help early diagnosis of several key diseases.

We collaborate heavily with premier medical institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and build systems to get deep medical insights from patient information including patient notes and lab information, medical images, ECGs, etc. We are a well-funded company and are looking to grow on all fronts.

Our team is a blend of CS folks and domain experts (biological science and medical MDs, PhDs, etc) constituting a unique community built of alumni from the likes of MIT, Harvard, the IITs, IISc, and other premier institutions.
