Senior Software Engineer, Edge & Cloud Platform

Who We Are illumicell AI is a medical-technology startup building AI-powered, label-free cell analysis to bring fast, objective diagnostics to the point of care. Based at the Pagliuca Harvard Life Lab, Harvard's startup incubator in Allston, we work at the intersection of optics, machine learning, and clinical medicine, surrounded by the research community our technology grew out of. Starting with male fertility, we're developing a new standard for how living cells are measured, understood, and acted upon.

We have a functional prototype device, a digital holographic scanner paired with cloud-based AI analysis, already producing live-cell measurements, and we are rapidly accelerating toward FDA submission. We're backed by Accel and Tim Draper, are Techstars alumni, and are building the team that will carry the product from working prototype to cleared clinical device. About the Role illumicell AI is building a holographic imaging system for automated semen analysis.

The product begins with a Linux-based microscope scanner that captures live-cell video and ends with a clinically deliverable result: sperm concentration, motility, and eventually morphology, returned to the fertility lab. Between those two points is the platform this role is responsible for. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build and maintain the software that connects the scanner to cloud-based image reconstruction and machine learning analysis, and returns a reliable result to the clinic.
