ImVitro is looking for a mission-driven Machine Learning Engineer Intern to join the Paris-based company as one of the R&D team members to tackle a problem that concerns around 15% of couples worldwide: infertility. The ideal candidate is a computer science master student who has applied deep learning algorithms to medical data.

Today, one of the main medical solutions to infertility is in vitro fertilization (IVF). And yet, its success rates only come close to 20-30%, which means patients have to repeat this difficult journey all too often, or give it up altogether. At ImVitro, we aim at automating the embryo evaluation which is at the heart of IVF to save doctor’s time, minimize variability and increase accuracy to make IVF more transparent, robust and reproducible. Our vision is to create an easier path to parenthood to ensure families can take their planning into their own hands.

ImVitro is an early stage Deep Tech start-up backed by US & European VC funds. It has created strong partnerships with more than 6 fertility centers in France, Spain and will expand to other countries. The company is backed  by several accelerator programs  (Entrepreneur First, Agoranov, TechCare), and was selected as one of Station F’s Future 40 2019 start-ups.
