Senior Computer Vision Engineer San Francisco, California, United States

AI-powered biology automation.

Methid is searching for scientists and engineers to be part of the founding team and work on automating life-science methodology.

Methid is changing the way biology and medical research are done, right at the edge of bits and atoms. Life-science research and diagnostics are more tedious, laborious, and error-prone than they need to be. This makes research and healthcare slower, more expensive, and less reliable, even for what should be simple tests and therapies! We make life-science research and diagnostic medicine better, faster, and cheaper.

As a Senior Computer Vision Engineer, you will shape the direction of our AI perception technology and your work will be essential to the success of Methid at the proof of concept stage and beyond. You will lead the application of the best available deep learning-based computer vision models to our innovative biology automation platform.

Culture

We think culture is something we build together, and should be used to motivate and cohere, rather than to exclude. If you are curious and excited about science and technology, enjoying working in a high autonomy, high accountability, and hands-on environment, there's a good chance you'll be energized working at Methid. We have a strong goal-oriented and asynchronous culture, so cogent and pithy writers will flourish. We emphasize learning and transparency and look for people who can expand the product's capabilities as well as their own.

We offer health, dental, vision, commuter and retirement benefits. We also have a generous vacation and paid time off policy. Methid believes in sharing the upside of our success with our team members and we include equity in all of our compensation packages.

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you!
