  • Experience architecting scalable solutions across on-premises, edge, and public cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
  • Strong knowledge of distributed systems, microservices, Kubernetes, containerized applications, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Experience integrating AI capabilities into enterprise software platforms, including AI inference, image analysis, or intelligent workflow optimization.
  • Strong programming background in C++, Python, Java, or Go.
  • Demonstrated success leading senior technical teams, influencing architecture across organizations, and driving enterprise technology strategy.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Medical Imaging, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Medical Imaging, Computational Imaging, Computer Graphics, or a related field.
  • Experience with advanced medical imaging technologies including rendering, visualization, image streaming, and large-scale imaging datasets.
  • Knowledge of GPU computing (CUDA or equivalent), parallel processing, and high-performance computing.
  • Experience with AI-enabled imaging capabilities such as image segmentation, image enhancement, intelligent streaming, or predictive data loading.
  • Familiarity with modern visualization techniques, scientific imaging, and enterprise healthcare platforms.
