Through acquisitions across imaging, mobile phlebotomy, and supplement tracking and optimization, Function is building an integrated health platform that spans the full path from testing to health clarity to daily action.

Function recently announced a $298M Series B and is entering its next chapter of growth. As we scale, the quality and durability of our People systems, data, and insights will directly shape our ability to attract, retain, and support exceptional talent.

We are growing our team and seeking out world-class talent that deeply believes in our mission to positively impact global health, has a relentless bias toward action, and a growth mindset. Function fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment where every day we build the future.

Role

At Function Health, we’re building a next-generation imaging network where clinical precision meets operational excellence. As an MRI Specialist, you will serve as a central force in elevating imaging quality across all partnered imaging facilities.

This is not a traditional technologist role. You will operate at the intersection of clinical expertise, systems optimization, and education. From designing and standardizing protocols to solving complex safety scenarios and mentoring technologists, your work will directly shape the quality and consistency of MRI across a multi-site, multi-vendor environment.

This hybrid role combines remote clinical oversight with on-site engagement, including travel to onboard new facilities and ensuring sustained imaging excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Facility Onboarding: Onboard new imaging sites, including protocol implementation and hands-on technologist training
• Protocol Optimization & Image Quality: Review and refine MRI protocols across multiple vendors (Siemens, GE, Philips, Canon, etc.) Optimize scan parameters to achieve superior image quality while maintaining efficiency. Drive standardization while adapting to site-specific constraints
• MRI Safety & Risk Management: Evaluate implant and device cases to ensure MRI safety. Promote and uphold MRI safety best practices across all sites
• Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement: Conduct routine image quality audits and protocol reviews. Track and improve key performance metrics, including repeat rates, scan quality, and protocol adherence. Identify trends and implement solutions to elevate clinical performance
• Education & Training: Develop and maintain SOPs, training materials, and internal knowledge resources. Build structured training programs for technologists across partner sites.
• Data & Workflow Optimization: Have DICOM and imaging workflow knowledge to troubleshoot and streamline data transfer issues. Partner with internal teams to improve interoperability, efficiency, and system reliability
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with operations, technical and medical teams to continuously improve imaging workflows and outcomes

Qualifications & Skills

• 5+ years of experience as an MRI Technologist
• ARRT (MR) or ARMRIT certification
• Strong expertise in MRI protocols and image optimization
• Excellent communication and training skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams
• Proven ability to adapt across diverse clinical environments and systems
• Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to clinical excellence and MRI safety

Preferred Background

• Experience working with at least two MRI vendors (e.g. Siemens, GE, Philips, United, etc)
• MR Safety Officer (MRSO) certification
• CT experience is a plus
• Comfortable with a hybrid schedule of working from home with 30-40% travel

Why This Role Stands Out

This role is designed for MRI technologists who want to move beyond the console and into system-level impact. You’ll help define how MRI is performed, taught, and scaled across a growing network, influencing both clinical quality and operational excellence.

If you’re the kind of person who notices when a sequence could be 15% better, enjoys solving complex imaging puzzles, and takes pride in raising the bar for everyone around you, you’ll feel right at home here.

What's in it for you?

Benefits

• Base Salary: Up to $120,000
• Stock options
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans for you and your family
• Wellness and commuter benefits
• Competitive vacation policy
• A culture that emphasizes learning
• Professional development budget for continued learning
• Opportunity to directly impact our mission of saving lives through early cancer detection

Why You'll Love Working With Us

We value our team at Function and offer a competitive salary and benefits package, flexible working hours, and a dynamic work environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged.
