About Us
Dognosis is a deeptech company devoted to unleashing the superpowers of humanity's best friends. We build brain-computer interfaces, wearable sensors, robotic platforms and AI models to standardise, scale and augment canine olfaction. Our focus is a breath-based multi-cancer test that triages risk at population scale, so early cancer detection can reach everyone. Our mission is informed peace of mind for people and their companions, through interspecies technology that makes medicine truly proactive. We are based in Bengaluru, India, backed by Boost VC and 1517 Fund, selected for the Accel and Prosus Atoms X LeapTech cohort, and we work with healthcare and research institutions across India, the UK and the US. We think from first principles, question the status quo, take responsibility, move fast and keep bureaucracy to a minimum. If you are new to startups, you may find the constant contact with reality, and the freedom to act on it, refreshing.

About the role
Our dogs detect cancer from a breath sample, and their answers are only as positive as their training. As a K9 Trainer you will train and handle our detection dogs every day, running sessions that keep each dog accurate, motivated and healthy, alongside our K9 team.

What you'll do




• Run daily scent-detection training and line-up sessions with our dogs.
• Use reward-based methods to build and keep each dog's accuracy and drive.
• Keep training, feeding, weight and welfare records for every dog, every day.
• Spot changes in a dog's health, behaviour or performance early, and act on them with the team and our vet.
• Keep the training room clean and controlled, following our scent-room and welfare procedures. What success looks like (06 months)
• The dogs you work with qualify, and hold their accuracy week after week.
• A qualifying week runs on our own team's handling, with no outside help.
• Every dog's records are complete, so a change is caught the day it starts. You are a good fit if
• You have trained detection dogs, or other working dogs, hands-on for at least two years.
• You train with rewards, and put a dog's welfare ahead of a session's numbers.
• You read dogs well, and notice small changes in behaviour before they become problems.
• You keep careful records and follow procedures exactly, even on a busy day.
• You are calm, patient and reliable around dogs and people.
