Who we are: At Arkana Laboratories, everyone has an important role to fill. Come join us and be a part of a team dedicated to making life better for those who need it most.
This place is packed with super-smart people who do their best work together. We work hard every day to advance our understanding of disease and provide world-class care to our patients in hopes of leaving our corner of the world a little better than we found it. While we are committed to improving the lives of thousands of patients, we never lose sight of the realization that they are the reason we get to create change in our field.
Built on generosity, teamwork, and the freedom to try new things, we take great pride in our work. Great ideas come from everywhere in this company and we celebrate each success and failure for the opportunity it gives us to keep reaching. For more than twenty years after our founder, Dr. Patrick Walker, wrote his goals on the back of a napkin, our people, culture, and values have remained strong.
The Director of Technology Operations owns three functions: cloud and infrastructure engineering, the technology support desk, and information security. You will report to the Chief Technology Officer and have the opportunity to shape and grow the team.
Arkana is the nation's leading renal pathology practice. We hold one of the richest kidney biopsy datasets in the world, and we are building the infrastructure to expand our training of clinical AI models on it. That includes an NVIDIA Blackwell class GPU cluster that is unique in healthcare and Central Arkansas. It sits alongside a hybrid cloud platform, a laboratory information system being built in house, and usable clinical AI products. You will own the operations behind all of it.
This is a strategic leadership role with real technical stakes. You will set direction across service operations, infrastructure, and security in a HIPAA/HITRUST clinical environment where physicians and patients depend on uptime every day.

Arkana Laboratories is a center for esoteric pathology focused on one thing:
improving care for patients.
Arkana is committed to providing doctors with the highest quality, clinicopathologic discussion possible. We recognize that in order to best serve the needs of our clinicians we must work together with them, not just as a lab, but as an extension of their practice. It is our goal to help equip doctors with the results they need to deliver the most effective patient care possible. As pathologists, we recognize that the longest period in a patient’s life is the timeframe between the day they have a biopsy and the day the result arrives.
