Clinical Data Specialist

Following our successful expansion into the U.S. and continued growth across Europe, we are seeking a Clinical Data Specialist to help drive our Scientific function from our Austin or Barcelona hubs.

Reporting directly to our Chief Scientific Officer, this person will play a critical role in teaching Aika how to "read" and "understand" clinical research: transforming unstructured clinical notes, protocols, and medical records into the high-quality, structured training data that powers our platform.

• Lead high-fidelity annotation of diverse clinical datasets, including trial protocols, Case Report Forms (CRFs), and medical literature.
• Work closely with AI and Engineering teams to provide the "human-in-the-loop" expertise required to refine machine learning models.
• Apply clinical coding standards (such as MedDRA, WHODrug, or SNOMED CT) to ensure data interoperability and regulatory compliance.
• Conduct rigorous audits of annotated data to maintain the "ground truth" accuracy essential for regulatory-grade AI outputs.
• Extract key entities (inclusion/exclusion criteria, endpoints, biomarkers) from unstructured documents to enhance the platform's predictive capabilities.

Someone with a clinical or life sciences background who is genuinely energised by data work. Not just managing it, but shaping it. We're looking for a detail-obsessed professional who understands that a single mislabeled data point can compromise the validity of a clinical model.

This person should be able to bridge clinical knowledge and AI training workflows, partnering closely with engineering and product to elevate the quality and rigor of Aika's outputs.

✅ Must-haves

• Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, or Health Informatics
• 2+ years in clinical data management (CDM) or clinical research, with focus on data cleaning or medical coding
• Proven experience with data labeling tools or strong understanding of NLP concepts in a medical context
• Deep familiarity with clinical trial phases, protocol design, and regulatory requirements (FDA/EMA)
• An obsessive eye for detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

✨ Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with SDTM, USDM, or other clinical data standards
• Background in AI/ML model training or evaluation
• Exposure to EHR data and real-world evidence workflows
• Additional languages (Spanish, Portuguese)

• A dynamic work environment with an international team, where collaboration and diversity thrive.
• Work alongside top talent, united by a shared purpose and committed to making a real impact.
• Comprehensive private health coverage to ensure your physical and mental well-being.
• Hybrid work model offering flexibility to balance your professional and personal life.
• Company events to celebrate achievements and enjoy time together.
• Get equipped with a MacBook to enhance your productivity and work experience.
• Our office is pet-friendly! You'll likely be greeted by a few wagging tails upon arrival.
