The Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) is a national network mandated by the State Secretariat for Education Research and Innovation (SERI) to enable the secure reuse of health data for research and innovation. Its mission is to ensure that clinical information collected across Swiss hospitals can be made FAIR (Findable Accessible Interoperable and Reusable) and comparable across institutions.
SPHN fosters interoperability at two complementary levels:
- Semantic interoperability through common data models ontologies and terminologies enabling health data to be linked queried and understood consistently across institutions.
- Computational interoperability through BioMedIT a secure federated IT infrastructure connecting Swiss hospitals and research institutions providing trusted environments for privacy-preserving data transfer storage and analysis.
To strengthen its semantic layer SPHN is seeking a Senior Software Developer with strong expertise in Semantic Web technologies particularly SPARQL and a solid understanding of data pipeline infrastructures and architectures. The successful candidate will contribute to the design and implementation of solutions that put semantic interoperability into practice across the Swiss health data ecosystem.
- Contribute to the design and implementation of ontologies data models and APIs supporting semantic interoperability of health data.
- Develop and maintain semantic data services with a focus on SPARQL query optimization and integration with RDF triple stores (e.g. GraphDB Virtuoso).
- Build tools and workflows that support the alignment of health datasets with international medical informatics standards (FHIR SNOMED CT LOINC HealthDCAT).
- Collaborate with clinicians researchers and IT specialists to translate semantic interoperability requirements into robust technical solutions.
- Lead the development and on-premises implementation of ETLs and software such as the SPHN Connector and Einstein enabling secure and standardized data exploration across Switzerland.
- Minimum of a Masters degree in Computer Science Software Engineering Bioinformatics or related field and five years experience in software development or data infrastructure projects or equivalent and additional work experience in a relevant field.
- Strong expertise in Semantic Web technologies (RDF SPARQL SHACL).
- Hands-on experience with triple stores (e.g. Virtuoso GraphDB Jena Fuseki Stardog).
- Solid Python development skills ideally including frameworks such as FastAPI or Django/Flask and familiarity with data processing libraries.
- Good understanding of software architectures ideally with exposure to cloud and HPC infrastructures; experience with OpenStack.
- Experience with agile development version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
- Familiarity with medical informatics standards (HL7 FHIR SNOMED CT LOINC) is an advantage.
- Practical experience with containerization technologies (Docker Singularity or Kubernetes) is an advantage.
- Self-starter with an ability to work independently as well as in a group.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills detail-oriented.
- Ability to work in an agile environment.
- Excellent communication and teamwork capabilities.
- Proficiency in English both oral and writing. French German or Italian is a plus.
- Eager to learn new technologies.
