Responsibilities

  • Design and develop scalable, modular, secure, and reusable AI-enabled solutions for Statistical Programming.
  • Build end-to-end Generative AI and agentic workflows covering ingestion, retrieval, reasoning, tool use, code generation, execution, validation, and human review.
  • Develop RAG and knowledge-driven solutions using organizational standards, metadata, specifications, historical study assets, and approved knowledge sources.
  • Create modular AI services, APIs, and reusable components that separate deterministic business rules from probabilistic AI/LLM reasoning and generation.
  • Implement AI reliability, reproducibility, validation, evaluation, regression-testing, traceability, and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Support LLMOps and production deployment practices, including Git/CI/CD, monitoring, logging, model and prompt lifecycle management, security, and performance/cost optimization.
  • Collaborate with Statistical Programming, Enterprise Architecture, IT/Cloud, Security, Validation, and Governance teams to productionize AI solutions and evaluate emerging technologies.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, artificial intelligence, or data science.
  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience in software engineering, AI/ML engineering, data engineering, or related technical roles.
  • Demonstrated experience building and deploying production-quality applications.
  • Hands-on experience with Generative AI/LLM solutions, RAG, prompt/context engineering, embeddings, vector search, structured outputs, tool/function calling, and agentic AI workflows.
  • Strong Python programming skills and experience with modular design, APIs, Git, automated testing, CI/CD, and preferably containerized or cloud-based applications.
  • Experience with AWS and familiarity with cloud AI/ML services, data storage, security/access controls, logging, and monitoring.
  • Understanding of AI reliability and evaluation, including reproducibility, hallucination mitigation, validation, prompt/model versioning, automated evaluation, regression testing, traceability, and human-in-the-loop approaches.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Preferred but not required: pharmaceutical or biotechnology experience, regulated-environment experience, clinical-data familiarity, Statistical Programming, SAS/R, CDISC/SDTM/ADaM, or GxP principles.

Benefits

  • Annualized base pay range of $117,500.00–$327,200.00, with actual pay depending on qualifications, location, and schedule.
