Senior ML Software Engineer

Aliph Medical, Inc. is a purpose-driven medical-device startup. We are developing a true all-in-one full-eyeocular diagnostic platform based on the state-of-the-art Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography paired with advanced

ML analytics. The platform caters to ophthalmology, optometry, and oculomics applications.

We believe all patients deserve to receive the best level of care. We have the technologies, tools, determination, and people to achieve our ambitious goal.

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Software Engineer to design and develop robust, scalable, and user-friendly software solutions for ophthalmic imaging and diagnostics, supporting the needs of healthcare providers and improving patient outcomes. The applications cover segmentation of anterior and posterior segment anatomies, calculations of topography maps, wavefront maps, OCT-Angiography, and other ocular applications. As the person in this role, you will need to have intimate knowledge of ML segmentation and image processing tools and applications.

You will be at the forefront acting as the primary authority for ML and ocular applications within the organization. We have no existing anything, this is a role for someone who wants to make a real difference developing the world’s best ophthalmic platform. You need to be a self-starter, comfortable with a fast-paced workplace, able to achieve goals within a high-level of ambiguity, work across functional lines, and take a hands-on approach to explore and find optimal solutions.
