Position Summary
- Lead the design, implementation, and evolution of scientific data products and integration strategies supporting AI-enabled drug discovery and development.
- Create scalable, interoperable, AI-ready data products connecting discovery, preclinical, clinical, safety, and real-world evidence; enable validated-biomarker data assets.
- Establish data architecture, integration strategy, metadata framework, and productization approach for semantic reasoning, knowledge graphs, GraphRAG, advanced analytics, and agentic AI.
- Define the future-state scientific data ecosystem with stakeholders and ensure high-quality products for translational science and patient safety.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and execute a scientific data product strategy for discovery research, translational science, preclinical safety, clinical development, pharmacovigilance, and real-world evidence.
- Design integration frameworks and data harmonization across SEND, SDTM, ADaM, MedDRA, imaging, omics, biomarker, pathology, and real-world data.
- Lead AWS-based digital platform implementation strategy; partner to deliver pipelines/data products.
- Develop curated datasets, semantic-ready data products, feature stores, metadata products, scientific data services, and AI-ready data assets.
- Define metadata standards and data quality; implement lineage/provenance/traceability and FAIR; establish monitoring controls.
- Build predictive AIML models for translational safety decision making.
Required Qualifications
- Master’s or PhD in CS, Data Engineering, Bioinformatics, Biomedical Informatics, Information Systems, Computational Biology, or related.
- 5+ years in scientific data engineering/architecture/products/life sciences informatics.
- Experience delivering enterprise-scale scientific data products; supporting drug discovery/development/clinical research/pharmacovigilance.
- Experience developing predictive models in relevant areas.
Technical Expertise
- Data architecture/modeling, data product design, cloud-native platforms, metadata management, data governance, predictive model development.
- AWS-based platforms; data lakes/lakehouses; distributed processing; APIs/data services; data cataloging/lineage.
- Familiarity with SEND, SDTM, ADaM, MedDRA.
Preferred Qualifications
- Knowledge graphs/semantic architectures/GraphRAG; AI-ready data products & feature stores; ontology-driven integration; partnering with cloud/platform teams; regulated environments.
