Job description

As our Clinician In-Residence, you will be the medical voice across product, clinical operations, regulatory strategy, patient experience, and research as we bring breath-based cancer detection to the world.

Dognosis is a deeptech company devoted to unleashing the superpowers of humanity's best friends. We build brain-computer interfaces, wearable sensors, robotic platforms and AI models to standardise, scale and augment canine olfaction. Our focus is a breath-based multi-cancer test that triages risk at population scale, so early cancer detection can reach everyone. Our mission is informed peace of mind for people and their companions, through interspecies technology that makes medicine truly proactive. We are based in Bengaluru, India, backed by Boost VC and 1517 Fund, selected for the Accel and Prosus Atoms X LeapTech cohort, and we work with healthcare and research institutions across India, the UK and the US.

We think from first principles, question the status quo, take responsibility, move fast and keep bureaucracy to a minimum. If you are new to startups, you may find the constant contact with reality, and the freedom to act on it, refreshing.

About the role

As our Clinician In-Residence, you will be the medical voice across product, clinical operations, regulatory strategy, patient experience, and research as we bring breath-based cancer detection to the world.

About the Role

This is a cross-functional medical role, involving work across product, clinical operations, medical affairs, regulatory, patient experience, and research. Dognosis runs a multi-site prospective clinical study under ICH-GCP and Indian GCP compliance, and is preparing for commercial rollout. You will be embedded across both: shaping protocols and ensuring scientific rigor today, and helping build the medical foundation for a consumer screening product tomorrow.

What You'll Do

• Shape study protocols and clinical workflows alongside the Clinical & Founding Team.
• Shape the user experience and customer journey for our breath-based product(s) for MCED (multi-cancer early detection) and recurrence monitoring.
• Build and iterate on the counselling workflow for CancerWatch users on their screening results and serve as the medical point of contact for patient-facing interactions.
• Contribute to research publications and represent Dognosis at scientific conferences.

What You Need

• MBBS with registration to practice in India, and ideally in Karnataka.
• Strong communication skills. You can explain complex medical concepts in simple terms to customers and the general public, while retaining strong clinical confidence with clinicians.
• Genuine interest in product development. You want to shape how early detection reaches people.
• Comfort in unstructured environments where you define your own priorities and work across functions.
• Interest in research and figuring out novel care pathways.

Nice to have

• Experience in clinical research, whether during training, residency, or independently.
• Experience in public-facing community (blog, social media, educational content).

What You'll Get

• Potential co-authorship on research in peer-reviewed journals. Dognosis has been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and presents regularly at international oncology conferences.
• Work with leading hospitals in India and the US, and with experienced researchers.
• Competitive salary and matching perks at a company backed by Boost VC and 1517 Fund, and selected for the Accel and Prosus Atoms X LeapTech cohort.
• Working with a high-touch interdisciplinary team spanning engineers, scientists, and working detection dogs. The office is never boring.
• Ownership over a novel product with potential for a paradigm-shift in oncology and how we detect and treat cancer.
• Health insurance for you, through Plum.
• Flexible hours, and work-from-home days where the role allows.
• Up to ₹10,000 a year towards a gym, a sport or any regular fitness activity.
