The Role

• You will define the technical direction of 5C's computer vision stack — the models that autonomously read millions of CT, MRI, X-ray, and mammography scans per year. This is the most senior individual contributor role on the AI team.

• You won't just train models. You'll decide which problems to solve, how to architect the solution, and what clinical-grade accuracy looks like. You'll work directly with radiologists, set research priorities, and mentor the applied science team.

What You'll Own

• Define the research roadmap for 5C's vision AI — which modalities, pathologies, and architectures to invest in next

• Design and build novel architectures for medical image understanding: multi-scale detection, volumetric segmentation, cross-modal fusion

• Establish evaluation methodology that translates model metrics into clinical outcomes

• Lead technical reviews and set quality bars for model releases

• Publish research and represent 5C at conferences (MICCAI, RSNA, CVPR)

• Mentor senior and mid-level scientists — raise the technical bar across the team

You Should Have

• 8+ years of applied research in computer vision or medical imaging

• Track record of models deployed in production at scale — not just published, but shipped

• Deep expertise in at least two: 3D volumetric analysis, vision transformers, multi-modal (image+text) models, self-supervised learning

• Strong publication record (top-tier venues: CVPR, ICCV, MICCAI, NeurIPS, or equivalent)

• Experience leading technical teams or mentoring researchers

• Fluent in PyTorch; experience with distributed training, mixed-precision, and production inference optimization

Why 5C

• 5C is one of the best places to work for serious, engaged builders. We are a leading company in agent-driven software development and a leading business in AI for medical imaging — both at the same time

• Small, highly empowered teams. High execution capability, high taste, high agency. No committees, no approval chains — just builders who ship

• Resumes are not important. Proof of work and proof of a high learning rate is everything we look for. Show us what you've built

• Your models will be used by thousands of radiologists across India — directly impacting patient outcomes at national scale
