Workplace: hybrid

Department: Data

Description

About us

Qureight’s mission is to accelerate clinical trials and ensure breakthroughs in lung and heart disease reach patients without delay. Our AI-powered data and imaging curation platform enables the analysis of clinical imaging and other healthcare data, helping our customers bring treatments to market, faster.

We’re looking for talented people who want their work to matter. With offices in Cambridge and London, you’ll join our multidisciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, and engineers. What unites us is our open culture, continuous learning mindset, and a shared mission to help biopharma run faster, smarter trials.

The Data Engineering team prepares the clinical data that our biomarker measurements are built on. We work with medical imaging and tabular clinical data, automating the cleaning, organisation and validation of this data, so that it can be used to quantify precision biomarkers for clinical trial endpoints. We support many sponsors and studies at the same time, so the work is varied. Our team members are involved in a wide range of active clinical trials, covering different therapeutic areas, imaging types and study designs.

About the role  

As Qureight expands, we’re running image analytics for an increasing number of clinical trials in multiple disease areas. We’ve developed data pipeline frameworks for processing the data we receive from each trial and for handling data needs that are specific to each trial. We now want to further automate this process and scale to take on even more trials.

The Senior Data Engineer will implement trial-specific data pipelines, working with DICOM imaging. You will work closely with our Clinical Operations team, observing the details of each trial whilst exploring how we can improve our systems and processes within the clinical trial regulatory framework. The focus will always be to ensure efficient, accurate data pipelines that minimise errors and keep data quality embedded by design. 

If you are interested in the interface between data infrastructure, software engineering, and medical applications – particularly in clinical trials – then this role is for you.

What you will do  

• Design, build, test, deploy and maintain trial-specific data pipelines that meet study protocol requirements
• Work with Clinical Operations, Infrastructure, Data Science and Data Management teams to build the tooling each trial needs
• Handle a wide range of datasets and transfer methods, integrating DICOM imaging (mainly CT) with clinical metadata
• Build pipelines that are robust, scalable and maintainable, with quality and compliance designed from the start so that reproducibility, lineage tracking and data validation are straightforward
• Own data delivery for your projects and help shape how we automate regulatory compliance
• Contribute to technical decisions on our pipeline framework, review colleagues' code and support less experienced engineers

• Strong collaboration skills and attention to detail, with the curiosity to understand where data comes from and how it will be used
• Experience working with medical imaging data such as CT, MRI in DICOM format

Even better if you have…

• Experience deploying in Kubernetes, particularly using GitOps tools such as Flux
• Experience of data versioning and reproducibility frameworks
• Experience working in regulated or GxP or ISO 13485 environments, or with clinical trial data
