Clinical Expert, Onco-Immunology
Bioptimus is building the first universal AI foundation model for biology to fuel breakthrough discoveries and accelerate innovation in biomedicine. With more than $75M in funding, Bioptimus is a fast-growing start-up headquartered in Paris, incorporated in October 2023. Backed by leading international venture capitalists, our world-class team of scientists and engineers is redefining the frontiers of AI and life sciences.
This is a remote role. We’re headquartered in Paris, but the position can be performed remotely outside of Paris.
About the role
We are looking for a meticulous and detail-oriented Biology Data Quality Engineer to ensure the integrity and usability of the various and complex datasets that are central to our mission. In this critical role, you'll leverage your expertise in biology, data science, and machine learning to ensure the quality and consistency of biological data used to train and evaluate our foundation models. You'll work in collaboration with the R&D team and our engineers, using your skills to ensure our data meets the highest standards.
What you'll be doing
As a Biology Data Quality Engineer, you will own the following tasks:
Data Validation Pipeline Development: Develop and implement comprehensive data validation protocols for diverse biological datasets (histology, omics, clinical). Ensure data integrity, consistency, and accuracy through rigorous quality checks. Design and implement automated data quality pipelines to streamline data validation and identify potential issues early in the data processing workflow. Data Curation & Standardization: Establish and enforce data standardization practices to facilitate seamless integration and analysis across different data types. Curate datasets to enhance their usability for machine learning. Collaboration & Communication: Work closely with the R&D team to understand data requirements and address data quality concerns. Communicate data quality findings and recommendations effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Communicate and synchronize with external data providers. Documentation & Reporting: Maintain a detailed documentation of the data-quality assessment procedures, validation results, and data specifications. Generate regular reports on data quality metrics and trends. Data Source Evaluation: Evaluate and validate external public data sources, ensuring they meet our quality standards and are suitable for inclusion in our foundation model training. Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with the latest data quality best practices and tools in the biological domain. Propose and implement improvements to our data- quality assessment processes and pipelines.
