About Aura Diagnostics Aura Diagnostics is a veterinary technology startup developing a cancer screening test for dogs. Veterinary clinics mail us nail clippings from their patients, and we analyze them in our Petaluma lab.

About the role We're hiring one or two part-time technicians to prepare and scan the nail samples that arrive at our lab. You'll work independently and set your own schedule within lab hours.
