Job description

Careers that Change Lives
Acquired by Medtronic – the world’s largest medical device company – in 2019, Digital Technology is a part of the Surgical Robotics operating unit. The company was founded by two surgeons to realize the mission of bringing safe and standardized surgical care to patients around the world.

Having a strong and proven foundation in innovation, and in particular computer vision and machine learning, Digital Technology is on the frontier of healthcare image and video analysis. The company is beginning to explore possibilities outside of the Operating Room and minimally invasive surgery, where its existing technology is leading the market in terms of cloud-connected, machine-learning solutions. Imaging and video modalities are ubiquitous across healthcare specialties – why should we stop at minimally invasive surgery?

A Day in the Life
As a Python Developer working on our internal machine learning platform at Digital Surgery, you will help design, build and maintain solutions that help deliver cutting edge ML products. You will use your skills to build software that allows our ML team to develop rapidly and at scale.

4. Experience using version control & contributing to production code bases
5. Awareness of common DevOps tools and practices (CI/CD, Docker)
6. Knowledge of cloud infrastructure and development (AWS, GCP etc.)

Nice to have

We know equity starts beyond our workplace, and we must play a role in addressing systemic inequities in our communities if we hope to have long-term sustainable impact. Anchored in our Mission, we continue to drive ID&E forward both to enhance the well-being of Medtronic employees and to accelerate innovation that brings our lifesaving technologies to more people in more places around the world.
