Cloud & AI Infrastructure Architect

The GEMINI Project

The GEMINI project, "Digital Twins by Generative Artificial Intelligence to Boost Personalized Medicine and Therapeutic Innovation", led by Humanitas Research Hospital, Humanitas AI Center, and Humanitas University, has been funded by the Ministry of University and Research under the FISA program.

Over the next five years, the goal is to develop a model based on innovative and scalable AI algorithms and real-world data (Digital Twin) that replicates the biological and clinical complexity of human diseases with a high social impact (such as cancers, debilitating chronic diseases, and rare diseases).

The ultimate aim is to provide physicians and patients with a validated and transparent tool to support critical aspects of clinical management, including diagnosis, prognosis, and optimal treatment selection.

Job Description 

We are looking for a dynamic Cloud & AI Infrastructure Architect capable of working independently to solve complex problems and develop innovative solutions.
