Morphle is a Y-Combinator backed startup founded by IIT alumni developing medical devices which help in digitizing pathology and provide assistive intelligence for pathologists. Our core team has a wide range of experience ranging from Robotics + Hardware design to Computer Vision + AI.

Job Brief: We are looking for an engineer to take on the unique opportunity of designing a digital pathology system. You will be responsible for leading the research and development of control firmware for our robotic devices along with our web-based digital pathology viewer interface. Adding to the challenge is the fact that your interfaces will be used by a diverse group of users consisting of AI engineers, data scientists, lab technicians, and medical professionals. If you have previously led the development of complex web-based software and are looking for the next big challenge, then this is the profile for you.

We have a strong engineering culture with a focus on

1. 2D Map-based interactive interfaces (checkout https://morphlelabs.com for examples)
2. Low network footprint & flexible API design
3. Using modern tools & frameworks like React.js to their fullest potential

In addition to the right technical skills, we stress on right engineering mindset that outweighs knowledge when solving the new-new problems

1. Patience to dive deep & Grasping power to digest complex system design (a must-have for building stuff from scratch)
2. Tactical debugging when dealing with the not-so-trivial and often opaque frameworks

SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES:

• Design and business acumen -- You understand requirements beyond the written word. Whether you're working on an API used by other developers, an internal tool consumed by our operation teams, or a feature designed for thousands of customers, your attention to detail leads to a delightful user experience.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelors, Masters or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Experience with web frameworks and developing a scalable data-heavy infrastructure
• Strong algorithmic and problem-solving skills
• Experience with various stages of development right from the idea stage to prototype to a polished product

PERKS

• Ground floor opportunity with the team; shape the strategic direction of a fast-growing startup
