Senior Backend Engineer

About Rhino Health

AI has not achieved its full potential in healthcare. Rhino Health aims to fix that. Today, AI developers face tremendous hurdles in training their models on sufficiently large & diverse datasets because of privacy concerns. Rhino Health’s Federated Computing Platform (FCP) unlocks healthcare data collaborations by allowing developers to train their models on data without ever taking possession of that data.

Rhino Health offers healthcare organizations and data scientists an end-to-end federated computing platform, which enables data collaboration while protecting patient data privacy. This platform uses edge computing and federated learning, leaving data at rest at each site, thus lowering the barrier to wider adoption of AI in healthcare and making multi-site collaboration seamless. Users can collaborate with a network of dozens of leading medical centers around the world, centrally performing data pre-processing, harmonization, model training & validation, and results analysis with no data ever leaving any medical center’s firewall.

The company is headquartered in Boston, with an R&D center in Tel Aviv.
