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.\nWe’re proud to be an ambitious, fast-growing technology scale-up with a dynamic and diverse international team representing more than 40 nationalities. Collaboration, flexibility, and continuous learning are part of our DNA.\nAt 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.\nWe’re looking for an AI-First Software Engineer Engineerto help shape this next chapter.\n The Role\nAs an AI-First Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of strong software engineering fundamentals and modern AI-assisted development. You will use state-of-the-art AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex-style agents) to generate and iterate on production-grade code - while applying human judgment, architectural thinking, and rigorous review to ensure quality, security, and compliance.\nAs part of our AI-First transformation, we are adopting Spec-Driven Development (SDD)across our engineering teams. Instead of moving straight from user stories into code, engineers write structured specifications that serve as the single source of truth for both human and AI-driven implementation. The spec is reviewed and approved before any code is written, and AI coding agents work within the constraints it defines.\nSome of our squads are already working this way, and these roles will help scale the approach across the organisation. Experience with SDD frameworks such as OpenSpec, SpecKit, BMAD, or Superpowers is required.\n This is not a traditional “ticket-driven” engineering role. Instead, you will:\nWork in small, high-impact squads (4-5 people)\nOperate within a Spec-Driven Development (SDD) framework\nTreat AI as a powerful collaborator - not a replacement for engineering responsibility\nFocus on integration, edge cases, system-level thinking, and production robustness\nYour output will be amplified by AI - but your judgment will define its quality. \nResponsibilities\nAI-Assisted Implementation\nUse AI coding tools to generate and iterate on implementation code\nRapidlyprototypemultiple technical approaches with AIassistance\nEnsure AI-generated output meetsCluePoints’ engineering standards before submission\nSpec-Driven Development\nWork from approved specifications as thesingle sourceof truth\nCollaborate with Product Managers and Tech Leads to refine technical scope\nImplement features according to reviewed and approved specs\nMaintain traceability between requirements, implementation, and tests\nArchitecture, Integration & Production Ownership\nHandle complex integration points and system-level concerns\nAddress edge cases and performance considerations AI may miss\nContribute to architectural discussions and long-term technical decisions\nMonitor productionbehaviorof AI-accelerated systems and proactively address stability, observability, and performance issues\nQuality & Compliance\nReview AI-generated code before raising pull requests\nIncrease andmaintaintest coverage through automated testing\nEnsure outputs are secure, auditable, and aligned with regulatory expectations (GxPcontext)\nParticipate in code reviews and continuous improvement of engineering standards\nContinuous Improvement\nExperiment with new AI tools and workflows to increase productivity\nContribute to evolvingCluePoints’ AI-First engineering practices\nRequirements\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production systems\nProficiencyin Python (essesntial) and/or TypeScript (experience with both is ideal)\nHands-on, daily use of AI coding assistants in real delivery workflows\nDemonstrated ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code:identifyinghallucinations, security risks, architectural drift, and edge cases\nSolid understanding of API design (REST), relational databases (MySQL or equivalent), and at least one NoSQL store\nStrong testing discipline: unit, integration, and end-to-end testing as part of your normal workflow\nExperience with Spec-Driven Development frameworks such asOpenSpec,SpecKit, BMAD, or Superpowers\nComfort working in a regulated or compliance-sensitive environment, or willingness to learnGxPexpectations quickly\nStrong Advantage\nExperience with Angular or a modern frontend framework\nExperience building structured AI-assisted workflows (prompt pipelines, agent orchestration, automated review systems)\nMicrosoft Azure cloud experience\nBackground in life sciences, healthcare, or other regulated industries\nBonus\nContributions to open-source AI tooling or developer productivity projects\nExperience with CI/CD pipeline design and DevOps practices\nFamiliarity with clinical trial data, CDISC standards, or RBQM concepts\nOur Technology Stack\nLanguages: Python \nFrontend: Angular/Typescript\nData: MySQL, Parquet, Databricksand MongoDB\nCloud: Microsoft Azure\nAI Tooling: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding assistants integrated into daily workflows\nNote* You do not need deep experience in every part of this stack, but you should be comfortable working across backend and frontend and confident in ramping quickly on unfamiliar technologies - with AI as an accelerator, not a crutch.\nBenefits\nWhat We Offer - Belgium\nHealth Insurance through Alan (100% hospitalisation cover, 80% ambulatory and dental)\nMobility Budget for eco-transport, housing, or car allowance (flexible 3-pillar system)\nGroup Insurance Plan with 6-12% employer pension contribution based on seniority\nMeal Vouchers(€8/day) and Eco Vouchers for sustainable purchases\nA hub-based hybrid model that blends flexibility with purpose - connecting teams through collaboration, learning, and a vibrant social culture.\nEqual Opportunities & GDPR Notice\nCluePoints is an equal opportunities employer.
