Join the Healthcare Data Revolution!

Are you passionate about data and its potential to improve healthcare? At LynxCare, we unlock the valuable clinical knowledge stored as raw text with NLP and LLM models to helps clinicians and researchers improve patient outcomes. We are looking for an MLOps Engineer to make sure our models run reliably, efficiently and safely in production, every day, at scale.

As an MLOps Engineer, you will own the lifecycle of all models in production, ideal for early- to mid-career software engineers who enjoy putting research to work in production environments. You will work closely with downstream users, including data engineers, clinical validators and analysts, to understand what they need from our models and turn their feedback into concrete improvements. Next to development and operations, you will assist researchers by bringing new, state-of-the-art models and LLMs to production, and optimizing them to process large volumes of real-world data.

What you bring

• Experience building and running software or ML systems in production
• Strong Python and solid engineering habits: testing, code review, clean architecture, agentic coding
• Experience with Docker and Git (branching, merging, resolving conflicts)
• Familiarity with ML/NLP tooling such as Hugging Face Transformers or vLLM. You don't need to be an expert, but you understand what a model needs to run well.
• Experience with at least one CI/CD tool, such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or Bitbucket Pipelines
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field but demonstrable equivalent experience is definitely considered as well.
• A strong sense of ownership and a team-first, data-driven mindset
• Fluent English. Dutch or French is a plus.

Nice to have

• Kubernetes and workflow orchestration tooling (e.g. Argo Workflows, Airflow)
• Hands-on experience with Cloud Services, especially Azure
• Model monitoring and experiment tracking (e.g. MLflow, Prometheus, Grafana)
• Data engineering basics (e.g. dbt, Delta Lake, Databricks)
• Knowledge of medical ontologies and coding systems (e.g. SNOMEDCT, OMOP)

Your first six months

• Month 1: you are familiar with LynxCare’s core-framework.
• Month 3: you can independently do maintenance tasks and add smaller features.
• Month 6: you can work independently on new projects and features.

What we offer

• A chance to be at the forefront of healthcare data innovation, working with a growing team of 50 highly motivated clinical and data experts on what matters: your systems directly support healthcare research and patient care.
• A collaborative, welcoming environment, where initiative is valued and personal/professional growth is supported.
• Plenty of opportunities to expand your knowledge, try innovative technologies, constantly experiment, and evolve.
• Attractive salary package, incl. extralegal benefits such as mobility budget, hospitalization insurance, group insurance, meal-vouchers, net cost-allowance and reimbursement of mobile telco subscription.

Don't tick every box? No worries, we value curiosity and ownership over a perfect match.
