JOB DESCRIPTION:
Position Overview
The Sr.AI/MLEngineerguidesthe architecture, technical roadmap, and hands-on implementation of thelife sciencesAI platformproviding the foundations for agentic solutions across the science and medical offices.This role helps shape the organization’s AI strategy and evaluates emerging state-of-the-art technologies for practical implementation within the platform.This role serves both technical consumers intheBioinformatics,Biostatistics and Data Science group,and non-technical consumers across Clinical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, and Medical Operationswithin a setting of advanced cancer screening and precision oncology.The work combines pragmatic experimentation with a clear path beyond prototypes, producing solutions that are evaluated, validated, governed, supported, and reusable.This role defines the engineering standards, controls, and validation framework under whichgenerativeAI solutions are developed andpublished, andprovides technical leadership through mentorship and architecture review.
Essential Duties
Include, but are not limited to, the following:
Guidethe architecture, technical roadmap, and strategic evolution of thelife sciencesgenerativeAI platform, including its runtime, gateway, memory, identity, observability, and evaluation capabilities, to accelerate and improve scientific and medical processes and outcomes.
Design and implement shared platform services, reusable components, and supported solution patterns that generalize recurring needs and reduce reliance on function-specific point solutions.
Integrate agent frameworks and interoperability protocols with enterprise data sources, document repositories, and scientific systems using secure, supported platform patterns.
Partner with stakeholders and AI/ML engineers across science and medical functions to translate operational workflows, SOPs, and business needs into scalable, supported AI solutions.
Driveplatformadoption bydefining and applying evaluation criteria that demonstrate solution quality, reliability, efficiency, and business value.
Apply Agile practices to iteratively develop, evaluate, and mature promising concepts into validated, reusable solutions.
Provide mentorship and coaching to more junior level team members.
Act as resource and subject matter expert in core team and/or cross-functional meetings.
