At CluePoints, we’re redefining how clinical trials are run. As the premier provider of Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) and Data Quality Oversight software, we harness advanced statistics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to ensure the quality, accuracy, and integrity of clinical trial data, helping life sciences organizations bring safer, more effective treatments to patients faster.
We’re proud to be an ambitious, fast-growing technology scale-up with a dynamic and diverse international team representing more than 20 nationalities. Collaboration, flexibility, and continuous learning are part of our DNA.
At CluePoints, you’ll find a culture where you can grow, make an impact, and have fun along the way. Guided by our values of Care, Passion, and Smart Disruption, we’re united by a shared mission: to create smarter ways to run efficient clinical trials and deliver AI-powered insights that improve human outcomes worldwide.
The Role
We’re looking for a Principal Architect to join our Data Layer squad and contribute to our mission of transforming clinical research through data-driven insights. This is a hands-on, player-coach role: you’ll own the design of the CluePoints data layer and build it with the squad. You’ll report to our GM, with a dotted line to the VP Engineering.

What You’ll Be Doing
Nice to Have
- Own the design of the CluePoints data layer and build it hands-on, writing production code alongside the squad.
- Design a metadata-driven schema with a stable spine that absorbs change without breaking the applications built on it.
- Build a semantic tier that maps study fields to concepts, keeping structure and meaning cleanly separate.
- Deliver a versioned, auditable query interface for our applications, with lineage and attributable change built in.
- Set the squad’s engineering and AI-first practices, using AI tools with clear verification and evaluation.
- Coach engineers through code and design, and partner with our GM and VP Engineering on direction.
Nice to Have
- Multi-tenant SaaS experience with strong data segregation.
- Familiarity with clinical data, CDISC, or standards such as FHIR, OMOP, and ODM. We’ll help you with the clinical side.
- Open-source contributions or talks in data lineage, metadata, or health data interoperability (e.g. OpenLineage, DataHub, Iceberg, HAPI FHIR, OHDSI).
