Job Summary
In this role, you will design and implement the technical architecture of the MEDAL platform, develop secure workflows for medical data, and evaluate AI models in an interdisciplinary team.
Your role in the team
- We are looking for a Scientific Solution Architect to design and build the technical foundations of the MEDAL platform.
- This is a technically demanding role with real architectural ownership: you will shape how clinical data flows into the project, how it is stored and protected, and how AI models are evaluated against the benchmark, and you will be hands-on in implementing these systems alongside a software developer.
- You will work closely with researchers, clinicians, legal and ethics experts, and a dedicated software developer.
- Key responsibilities include:
- Konzeption sicherer Workflows für die internationale Übermittlung sensibler medizinischer Bilddaten.
- Defining architectural concepts for the benchmarking and evaluation platform, including controlled and secure execution of externally submitted models.
- Translating scientific, regulatory, and ethical requirements into practical technical concepts, including security and compliance requirements.
- Making and documenting architectural decisions and technical trade-offs.
- Designing concepts for access control, data storage, and security mechanisms.
- Acting as a technical interface between research teams, software developers, legal experts, and external infrastructure providers.
- System implementation in close collaboration with a dedicated software engineer and contributions to technical development where appropriate.

What we offer
- A central role in a high-visibility international research project (including high-impact publications).

- Training and professional development in areas where you want to grow (including security, cloud infrastructure, AI systems, and working with medical data).
- State-of-the-art computational resources.
- Flexible working hours, hybrid work options, and part-time arrangements, along with a family-supportive environment (including a parent-child room and subsidised childcare places).
