We are facing a real challenge and we are looking for the right person to join our adventure.

The use of digitalization technologies and Artificial Intelligence in the world of healthcare reveals great opportunities to benefit and improve patient’s care, reducing costs and improving global health. We can find many medical areas that are already getting the benefits of this new wave, however, others like hematology, infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases, among others, still remain one step behind. SpotLab is fighting to bridge the gap.

We have received more than 10 international awards, including the Seal of Excellence of the European Union, being one of the most innovative start-up companies based on breakthrough innovations with scale and impact potential. We are a multidisciplinary orchestra with gender parity where developers, engineers, doctors, business managers, etc. with different professional backgrounds interact and complement each other.

We are looking to hire a full time Artificial Intelligence Research Scientist, who will develop, train and deploy machine learning and image processing algorithms for the diagnosis of medical images.
