About Pictor Labs

Pictor Labs is the leading virtual staining company revolutionizing digital pathology adoption worldwide through cutting-edge AI-powered technology. Our solutions deliver diagnostic-quality results in minutes while preserving tissue samples for comprehensive analysis.

Our breakthrough DeepStain and ReStain technologies enable unlimited virtual staining from a single tissue sample, eliminating the bottlenecks and limitations of traditional chemical staining processes. This innovation supports the critical evolution from research applications to clinical deployment, empowering laboratories to advance their digital pathology capabilities while reducing chemical waste, improving operational efficiency, and expanding diagnostic possibilities.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior ML Inference Engineer to join our team, focusing on optimizing and deploying our production virtual staining models at scale. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in ML inference optimization, GPU programming, and building production-grade inference systems. You will work on critical challenges such as reducing inference latency for whole slide imaging (WSI) from tens of minutes to under 2 minutes, deploying models on edge devices with NVIDIA hardware, and ensuring our inference infrastructure meets FDA and SOC2 compliance requirements. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and life-saving healthcare technology, making a tangible impact on patient outcomes.
