Job Description:

Description Our mission is to increase access to MR imaging for the population. Today, MRI scanners in the US are idle, not taking images more than 60% of the day, wasting $10B in potential revenues annually and delaying patient care. Unfortunately, improving the process of acquiring medical images is widely overlooked, largely because the data needed to drive productivity is simply inaccessible. Quantivly, a spin-off from Boston Children---s Hospital, has developed a platform that analyzes MRI images metadata on-the-fly to unlock operational data and radically transform the way MRI operations are managed. We are looking for a Senior Python developer to lead back-end development of the Quantivly platform.
