Software Engineering, ML Ops Intern/Co-Op
Location: Boston
PathAI's mission is to improve patient outcomes with AI-powered pathology.
Our platform promises substantial improvements to the accuracy of diagnosis and the efficacy of treatment of diseases like cancer, leveraging modern approaches in machine learning and artificial intelligence. We have a track record of success in deploying AI algorithms for histopathology in translational research, pathology labs and clinical trials. Rigorous science and careful analysis is critical to the success of everything we do. Our team, composed of diverse employees with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, is passionate about solving challenging problems and making a huge impact on patient outcomes.
We're looking for intellectually curious and driven engineering students to help lay the groundwork for our growing machine learning automation systems.
Our MLOps team builds and scales the machine learning infrastructure that powers PathAI's enterprise AI systems in research and production production — spanning cloud infrastructure (AWS and on-prem), Kubernetes, distributed systems, and observability. We care as much about reliability and reproducibility as we do about speed: everything we ship should be dependable, well-tested, and easy for other engineers to build on. As a co-op, you'll get a broad, hands-on introduction to ML automation.
