About Mantyx

Mantyx is at the forefront of innovation with its AI-powered surgical co-pilot, designed to enhance surgical intelligence. Combining advanced computer vision and surgical phase recognition, Mantyx delivers real-time, procedure-aware insights to optimize outcomes for surgical teams. By integrating live video, device signals, and clinical expertise, Mantyx ensures a patient-centric approach across every stage of surgery — from pre-operative planning to post-operative analysis.

We are now introducing AI in robotic surgery through a smart assistant that brings scattered information to the surgeon's fingertips via a voice-controlled interface — improving patient outcomes, sharpening surgical focus, and increasing hospital efficiency.

Your Role

As our Platform Engineer, you will lead the technical architecture and backend development of our AI-driven infrastructure. You will be the engineering backbone behind our surgical co-pilot, working at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real-world clinical deployment.

Concretely, you will:

  • Design and implement scalable compute systems spanning cloud and on-prem environments to support our surgical co-pilot

  • Develop core services for data ingestion, orchestration, and analytics — helping our software interpret live video, audio, and text with high accuracy, resource efficiency, and low latency

  • Support integration of advanced AI pipelines — including phase recognition, lens-stain minimization, and autonomous documentation — into production environments

  • Ensure interoperability between data platforms, APIs, and EHR systems for seamless data flow

  • Collaborate across disciplines with our team of MDs, PhDs, and seasoned entrepreneurs to align technical solutions with clinical needs

  • Uphold high standards for security and reliability, essential for software targeting FDA and MDR medical device certification
