Senior Data Engineer, Medical Imaging

Senior Data Engineer, Medical Imaging & AI Platforms At icometrix, we transform complex medical imaging data into actionable insights that improve patient care. Our AI-powered solutions support clinicians and researchers worldwide in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and other brain disorders. As we continue to scale our imaging and AI capabilities, we are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to build and maintain the next generation of clinical imaging data infrastructure that powers our products, research collaborations, and machine learning initiatives. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will design, develop, and maintain the data platforms that enable large-scale processing of multimodal neuroimaging and clinical datasets. You will work at the intersection of medical imaging, cloud infrastructure, AI, and software engineering, creating robust data pipelines that transform raw imaging data into high-quality datasets for product development and validation, scientific insights, and clinical deployment. This role requires both strong software engineering skills and a deep understanding of biomedical imaging data and clinical data, in particular in multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. What do we expect from you?
