We are seeking a proactive Technical Program Manager to join the Platform Precision Health engineering organization at Verily Boston. Verily powers AI-enabled precision health solutions to accelerate research and improve patient care. The Data Exploration & Processing team exists to Deliver best-in-class capabilities for data exploration, analysis, and processing within workspaces and data collections.
