Butterfly Network | SF, NY, or Remote | Full-time

Butterfly Network's mission is to democratize healthcare by enabling universal access to superior medical imaging. We reinvented ultrasound technology by creating the world's first handheld, single-probe whole-body ultrasound system: the Butterfly iQ. This breakthrough technology reduces the cost of the traditional ultrasound system by miniaturizing it onto a single semiconductor silicon chip.

Butterfly harnesses the advantages of AI and cloud computing to deliver advanced imaging that is easy-to-use and built for the digital era. The Butterfly iQ and next-generation Butterfly iQ+ have received CE Mark and FDA clearance and are being sold in hospitals and clinics around the globe.

Benefits: Fully covered medical insurance plan, dental and & vision coverage, pre-tax commuter benefits, free onsite meals, 401k plan, flexible paid time off, work from home or from one of our beautiful offices in New York or Palo Alto, competitive salaried compensation, and equity.

We're hiring security engineers. For more information, job descriptions, and to apply: https://www.butterflynetwork.com/careers?gh_jid=4257413003



Butterfly Network is a Latacora client. We run their security team, and you'll be working with us in this role. We'll also be running the work sample test used to gauge technical competencies. They've been a client for quite a while, and there's definitely a broad spectrum of challenges for security staff to tackle. That includes hardware and all the challenges with building it, but also data science/ML workflows and relatively large and diverse cloud deployments.

Their tech is the real deal. We've had the probes for testing and they're every bit as impressive as described. I love having them as a client in no small part because it's hard to overstate the impact on human life that Butterfly enables short-term and particularly long-term. Ultrasound technology is incredibly fast and effective in many branches of medicine. Imagine what access to ultrasound could do even if just every Western doctor had immediate access to it instead of having to go hunt for a cart, let alone if we could make it available in literally every pregnancy on the planet.

Imagine an ultrasound machine. Then go to butterflynetwork.com and look at the probe. Just logistically, that's not even close to the same thing. Also: that thing costs literally 1-1.5 orders of magnitude less than a traditional cart ($2000 vs $20k-$75k). I'm not a physician so I'm not qualified to compare the two directly, but some differences are so stark you don't need to be an expert to understand this isn't even in the same ballpark anymore.

Given Butterfly will be publicly traded (via SPAC), it also has the benefit that your equity compensation is significantly less speculative than it would be for many companies this innovative and this size.
