Job description

Du liebst komplexe Daten, baust robuste Pipelines und willst KI auf echte Probleme loslassen – nicht auf Spielzeug-Datensätze? Dann komm zu MediPulse!

Healthcare is broken. Das wollen wir ändern, und dafür suchen wir Dich!

Als Head of Data Engineering baust und mitverantwortest du das datenseitige Rückgrat von MediPulse. Du entwickelst die Pipelines, die medizinische Abrechnungsdaten aus unterschiedlichsten Praxissystemen verarbeiten, und bringst KI dort zum Einsatz, wo sie echten Mehrwert schafft: bei der Analyse, Automatisierung und Optimierung der Abrechnung. Kurz: Du machst aus rohen Daten die Intelligenz, die unser Produkt einzigartig macht.

MediPulse ist ein dynamisches HealthTech Startup, das Arztpraxen endlich ins 21. Jahrhundert bringt. Wir revolutionieren den Gesundheitssektor mit unserer innovativen Software, die Ärzten hilft, ihre Praxen effizienter zu steuern.

In unserem kleinen, aber hochmotivierten Team kannst du viel Verantwortung übernehmen und arbeitest direkt mit unseren erfahrenen Kolleg:innen an Themen, die echten Impact haben. Unser Entwicklerteam bringt durchweg 5+ Jahre Erfahrung mit – du arbeitest von Tag eins mit Leuten auf Augenhöhe. Wenn du Lust hast, richtig was zu bewegen, dann bist du bei uns genau richtig!

Aufgaben

Das erwartet dich:

  • Kollaboration beim Aufbau sauberer Datenmodelle und Sicherstellung von Datenqualität
  • Entwicklung und Betrieb robuster Datenpipelines für die Verarbeitung externer Datenquellen
  • Entwicklung und Einsatz von ML-Modellen für praktische Anwendungsfälle: Transaktions-Klassifizierung, Forecasting, Benchmarking
  • Vorantreiben unserer Produkt-AI-Adoption: automatisierte Reports, Analysen und Intelligenz-Layer für unsere Daten
  • Federführende Mitgestaltung unserer skalierbaren Data- und AI-Architektur und Infrastruktur
  • Enge Zusammenarbeit mit Produkt und echten Praxen, um datengetriebene Features von der Idee bis zum Live-Deployment zu bringen
Qualifikation

Das bringst du mit:

  • Du hast mehrere Jahre Erfahrung und solide Kompetenzen im Data Engineering und/oder im Bereich ML / KI
  • Du hast Erfahrung mit dem Aufbau von Datenpipelines (ETL/ELT) und arbeitest strukturiert mit größeren Datenmengen
  • Du bist vertraut mit dem Einsatz und Betrieb notwendiger Infrastruktur-Komponenten: Datenbanken, Queues, Containerisierung
  • Erfahrung mit ML-Frameworks und/oder LLMs ist ein Plus
  • Du arbeitest selbstständig, denkst mit und übernimmst gerne Verantwortung
  • Lust, dich in eine komplexe Fachdomäne (medizinische Abrechnung) einzuarbeiten
  • Du sprichst fließend Deutsch
Benefits

Das bieten wir:

  • Kompetitives Gehalt + Unternehmensanteile
  • Office mit guter Anbindung, direkt am Marienplatz
  • Ein junges, dynamisches Team, das eng vor Ort zusammenarbeitet
  • Flexible Arbeitszeiten mit Raum für Home-Office
  • Moderne Hardware deiner Wahl (z. B. MacBook)
  • Direkter Draht zu echten Nutzer:innen und sichtbarer Impact ab Tag eins
  • Fitnessabo (Wellpass) und attraktive Corporate Benefits
  • Viel Verantwortung und die Chance, unser Produkt von Grund auf mitzugestalten

Du kannst es kaum erwarten? Wir auch nicht!
