Job Description

Who we are : At Arkana Laboratories, everyone has an important role to fill. Come join us and be a part of a team dedicated to making life better for those who need it most.

This place is packed with super-smart people who do their best work together. We work hard every day to advance our understanding of disease and provide world-class care to our patients in hopes of leaving our corner of the world a little better than we found it. While we are committed to improving the lives of thousands of patients, we never lose sight of the realization that they are the reason we get to create change in our field.

Built on generosity, teamwork, and the freedom to try new things, we take great pride in our work. Great ideas come from everywhere in this company and we celebrate each success and failure for the opportunity it gives us to keep reaching. For more than twenty years after our founder, Dr. Patrick Walker, wrote his goals on the back of a napkin, our people, culture, and values have remained strong.

About the position : Arkana Laboratories is the largest and most advanced renal pathology laboratory in the country. We're building AI models that change how pathologists work, architecting a proprietary LIS from the ground up, and scaling our engineering capabilities to match our ambitions. We need a Director of Engineering to lead a team of ~9 (growing to 12-15), partner with our CTO and Product team, and make foundational technical decisions that will help define our competitive advantage for years. If you're a builder who gets excited by architecting systems from early stages, implementing AI in production healthcare environments, and scaling teams—this is your role.
