PathAI application questions — all 20, word for word
PathAI hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 20 questions, 15 of them required. 2 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
30 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and data. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.

18 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Are any of your immediate family members employees or directors of PathAI or Poplar Healthcare PLLC, including a spouse or partner living in same household, parent, child, sibling, grandparent or grandchild (including step-persons, such as a step-parent or step-child)?”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether PathAI does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — PathAI's asks for 15 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
