Our Mission? Standardize Veterinary Imaging Excellence

At HawkCell, we’re tackling a real pain point in animal healthcare. While human diagnostic imaging have leaped forward, veterinary imaging has been stuck in the past, where slow and grainy images are still the norm. We’ve built AI solutions to denoise CT and MRI images, paired with a dedicated protocol library. This isn’t a human-adapted technology; it’s built from scratch using animal data, specifically for veterinary medicine.

We closed our Series A in 2024 and now we’re scaling in Europe, NORAM and APAC. We’re headquartered in Lyon, but our mindset is global. We are here to become the undisputed leader in animal imaging.

How We Work

You’ll have a high degree of autonomy here. We expect you to lead your projects, make decisions, and fix what’s broken without waiting for an invitation.

The pace is fast, and the standards are high because what we’re building actually matters for animal health. We don’t have room for politics or ego; we try, we fail, we try again, we iterate and we succeed. If you’re the type of person who needs a 20-page manual before taking action, you’re going to find it difficult at HawkCell. But if you’re driven by results and actually want to see the direct impact of your work, you’ll fit right in!

If the idea of building an scalable product in the international market from the ground up gives you a rush, keep reading.

Is HawkCell for you?

This is a key question that we would like you to consider before applying. HawkCell is not for everyone. We aren't looking for "passengers" or people who need a manual to get started. We’re seeking a relentless 'hunter' mindset. You don’t just see obstacles; you see opportunities for creative problem-solving. We want the person who bypasses the gatekeeper, finds the hidden path, and turns a closed door into an entry point. No matter which role you are in.

If you’re looking for a comfortable 9-to-5 where you can just follow and execute, you probably won’t enjoy and excel in HawkCell.

Still here? Then maybe you’re the person we’re looking for!
