About the Role

You will lead data operations for a cutting-edge research group developing 3D medical multimodal foundation modelsand agentic clinical AI systems. These models rely on extremely high-quality, well-structured, and compliant datasets—including 3D medical imaging volumes (MRI, CT, PET), clinical text corpora, annotations, and multimodal metadata.

Your job is to own the end-to-end data lifecycle: acquisition, ingestion, cleaning, versioning, labeling, quality control, governance, and delivery to researchers. You are the central node ensuring our foundation model teams and medical agent teams have clean, scalable, well-documented data pipelines.

This is a pivotal foundational role—without outstanding data, large models cannot be great.

What You Will Work On

Multimodal Medical Data Ops
- Oversee ingestion and processing of 3D medical volumes (DICOM, NIfTI, MHA) and associated clinical texts.
- Build automated pipelines for metadata extraction, de-identification, slice/series validation, and cohort structuring.




- Manage large-scale internal datasets and external research datasets (BraTS, LiTS, MIMIC-CXR, CheXpert, MosMed, etc.).

Data Infrastructure & Versioning
- Implement scalable data storage, cataloging, and retrieval systems for multimodal training data.
- Own dataset version control, lineage tracking, reproducibility, and dataset documentation.
- Collaborate with ML systems engineers on high-throughput data loaders, sharding strategies, and caching mechanisms.

Annotation & Labeling Programs
- Lead medical annotation workflows with radiologists, medical students, and labeling vendors.
- Create guidelines for ROI labeling, segmentation, captioning, report alignment, and case-level curation.
- Build semi-automated labeling pipelines using model-assisted tools.

Data Quality, Compliance & Governance
- Enforce strict standards on data quality, completeness, consistency, and bias control.
- Ensure adherence to medical data privacy, HIPAA-equivalent framework
