Pathologist (AI & Digital Pathology)

Mindpeak is a Hamburg-based scale-up at the forefront of AI-driven cancer diagnostics. Our software helps pathologists analyze medical images more efficiently and accurately - already clinically deployed in more than 25 countries. Our vision is to enable personalized and effective treatment for every cancer patient - to truly improve medical care and patient outcomes around the world.

As a Pathologist at Mindpeak, you will play a central role in ensuring the medical quality and reliability of our AI systems.

You will act as the internal medical source of truth, owning annotation quality, model validation, and medical decision-making. This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on execution, where you will directly shape how pathology expertise is translated into scalable, regulatory-ready AI systems.

At this stage, we are moving from individual-driven decisions to structured, system-based medical processes. You will be a key driver in building these systems and ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes across projects.

• Act as the internal reference and source of truth for pathology-related topics

• Perform medical review and validation of annotations and AI model outputs

• Own annotation quality and consistency across projects

• Define, implement, and maintain annotation guidelines, scoring systems, and QC processes

• Lead and support annotation projects (e.g. tumor grading, biomarker scoring)

• Ensure predictable quality and throughput in medical workflows

• Build and improve structured, scalable, and regulatory-ready processes

• Support onboarding and guidance of internal and external annotators

• Collaborate closely with ML, Product, and Project teams to translate medical requirements into AI systems

• Contribute to model evaluation and clinical relevance assessments

• (Optional) Support customer interactions, expert calls, or conferences as a medical expert
  

• Board-certified or near-certified Pathologist

• Strong clinical background in general anatomic pathology

• High medical judgment and quality standards

• Strong attention to detail and consistency

• Hands-on mindset: you actively engage in annotation, review, and execution

• Structured thinker with the ability to build guidelines and processes

• Ability to translate medical requirements into technical systems

• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments

• Strong sense of ownership and accountability

• Clear and pragmatic communicator

Nice to have:

• Experience with annotation workflows and scoring systems (e.g. Gleason, H-score)

• Exposure to AI/ML or data-driven medical projects

• Oncology experience

• Experience in digital pathology

• Experience with mIF

• Experience in pharma or clinical trials

• Interest in contributing to team scaling and leadership

• The opportunity to build AI systems that power both clinical cancer diagnostics and data-driven drug development.

• An open, creative work environment with flat hierarchies and quick decision-making.

• Diverse, engaging projects that help you deepen both your technical and domain expertise.

• A centrally located Hamburg office with a beautiful view over the harbor.
