I was involved in the digital pathology sector. Leica (formerly Aperio) has an office in Vista and I hear it's still a good place to work after the acquisition.

You may also try Epic Sciences, indica labs, or BioImagine. There are far more, but you could also try going to local conferences. I used to attend pathology Visions each year. Lots of industry representation and new tech. You probably know this already, bit look for assay dev labs with existing software groups. Best of both worlds. Otherwise you run the risk of developing software in a culture which inderstands nothing of software dev. Not fun.
