Job opportunity

Medical AI Data Engineer / Medical AI Data Engineeress

Tune Insight SA Lausanne October 17, 2026

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain AI agents leveraging RAG and autonomous AI technologies, empowering clinical researchers to query sensitive federated datasets using natural language.
  • Build and iterate on an interoperable query language to SQL generation pipeline, including schema-awareness layers and query validation tailored to complex clinical data models.
  • Implement and maintain data harmonization pipelines that conform to the OMOP Common Data Model and HL7 FHIR standard, facilitating interoperability across diverse clinical datasets from multiple institutions.
  • Integrate and maintain medical ontology mappings across ICD-10, SNOMED CT, ATC, and RxNorm to ensure semantic consistency in federated patient data queries.
  • Develop and maintain full-stack platform features, from backend services and APIs to query orchestration pipelines and user-facing interfaces tailored for clinical researchers and data scientists.

What We Are Looking For

  • AI/LLM Systems: Hands-on experience building production RAG pipelines and agentic AI workflows applied to clinical data querying.
  • Medical Ontologies: Practical experience integrating a broad range of clinical ontologies and vocabularies into a query or data harmonization system, including but not limited to SNOMED CT, ATC, RxNorm, ICD-10, LOINC, and OMOP standard vocabularies. Experience managing concept mappings, hierarchies, and cross-ontology relationships is essential.
  • Backend Engineering: Solid Go development experience, particularly in API design and data pipeline construction.
  • Frontend Engineering: Experience with React development, including component design and the creation of secure, clinical-facing user interfaces.
  • Strong SQL Expertise: Proficient in writing and optimizing complex queries, as well as investigating, monitoring, and troubleshooting the performance of production databases such as PostgreSQL and Oracle.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with relational databases and complex clinical data models.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain production React interfaces, ideally within data-intensive or analytics-focused applications.
  • Prior experience in privacy-preserving, federated, or distributed data environments where data cannot be moved or revealed in raw form is strongly preferred. Understanding the engineering constraints this imposes on query design and data access is essential.
  • We highly value candidates who have made sustained, deep contributions to a single, specialized system for an extended period (18 months or more).

Why Join Us?

  • Meaningful Work: Your contributions will enhance the infrastructure that enables secure access to patient data insights and supports life-saving research.
  • Lausanne Hub: Work in the heart of Europe’s Health Valley.
  • Impact: With a team of fewer than 20, your role is pivotal; you will help lay the foundation for our company's success.
  • Challenging Problems: Engage with cutting-edge challenges at the intersection of AI, regulated health data, and distributed systems.

This Role is Right for You If You:

  • Thrive in working across the full stack, from ontology mappings and data models to APIs and user interfaces.
  • Have 0-2 years of experience in a privacy-preserving or federated health data environment.
  • Possess a strong instinct for data quality and semantic correctness, particularly in clinical or medical contexts.
  • Welcome challenges that push you out of your comfort zone and embrace change.
  • Are comfortable taking responsibility and holding yourself accountable for outcomes.
  • Stay humble and open to feedback, especially when collaborating with world-class experts.
