Data Scientist, AI & Pathology

About Proscia

Pathology is at the center of medicine and is undergoing a profound transformation as the final frontier of digitization in healthcare. We started Proscia to accelerate pathology’s transition from microscope to images—and to use AI to change the way we think about cancer. We can’t change medicine alone. That’s why we’re looking for curious thinkers. Big dreamers. Developers, evangelists, pathologists, and scientists. Exceptional talent to help us use the great power of AI for good and advance humankind.

At Proscia, we push the limits of medicine and technology, solving problems the world has never solved before. We build software used by thousands of scientists and pathologists working on the front lines of fighting big enemies, like cancer, for patients around the globe. To accelerate our vision, Proscia has raised over $100M in capital from world-class healthcare and technology investors.

About This Position

Proscia is seeking a full-time Data Scientist to join our AI R&D team, focused on unlocking insights from whole slide images (WSIs) and real-world pathology data. In this role, you’ll design and apply cutting-edge AI models to translational research and biomarker discovery, interface directly with our biopharma customers, and support sales discussions with data-driven guidance. You’ll bridge scientific, technical, and customer domains—delivering AI-first solutions that help reshape how the industry develops therapies and precision medicine.

What You’ll Do

Working at a startup like Proscia means wearing many hats, but when you come to work you can expect to focus on the following:

• Develop deep learning models that extract biologically and clinically relevant features from pathology images and data.
  
• Work with foundation model embeddings to power discovery, classification, and search across large-scale datasets.
  
• Build scalable pipelines for feature extraction, quantification, and visualization from WSIs and other biomedical data types.
  
• Lead technical engagements with biopharma customers—translating scientific requirements into technical solutions and communicating project progress clearly.
  
• Support the go-to-market team in customer discussions, shaping AI strategy and solutions that meet data needs across discovery, translational, and clinical programs.
  
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including AI, Product, Sales, and Scientific Affairs—to ensure successful delivery and product-market fit.
  
• Drive insights for biomarker discovery, therapeutic response prediction, and patient stratification using real-world data.
  
• Maintain strong documentation and contribute to external-facing scientific content as needed (white papers, presentations, etc.).
  
• Stay current on the latest developments in AI, digital pathology, and biopharma applications.
  

What We’re Seeking

We’re looking for people who are smart, nice, & get stuff done. Proscia is a high-growth company, and we want entrepreneurial doers that thrive in a challenging environment, that are ready to build the plane while flying it. Proscia's next Data Scientist will have:

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD preferred) in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Biology, or related field.
  
• Fluency with modern AI tools (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and foundational models, especially as applied to biomedical imaging.
  
• Experience working with pathology image data, WSIs, and related data types (e.g., spatial omics, IHC, clinical RWD).
  
• Knowledge of biomarker discovery pipelines, translational science, and how AI fits into the biopharma R&D lifecycle.
  
• Strong communication skills and experience interfacing with external stakeholders or customers.
  
• Ability to guide pre-sales and post-sales technical conversations in partnership with commercial and customer success teams.
  
• A product mindset: ability to balance scientific rigor with real-world usability.
  
• AI fluency: instinctively reach for AI tools to simplify, accelerate, or automate complex tasks.
  
• A team-first attitude with a drive to push boundaries and ship impactful solutions.
