United As One for Patients, our purpose in Healthcare is to help create, improve and prolong lives. We develop medicines, intelligent devices and innovative technologies in therapeutic areas such as Oncology, Neurology and Fertility. Our teams work together across 6 continents with passion and relentless curiosity in order to help patients at every stage of life. Joining our Healthcare team is becoming part of a diverse, inclusive and flexible working culture, presenting great opportunities for personal development and career advancement across the globe.
In this role, you will design, prototype, build, and evolve software applications that enable advanced AI solutions within the Advanced Data Science team in the Data Sciences organization. You will rapidly translate scientific and business needs into functioning prototypes and progressively develop successful concepts into robust, maintainable, and scalable applications for pharmaceutical Research & Development.
Working closely with scientists, business stakeholders, Applied AI Engineers, machine learning experts, the Frontend and UX Engineer, and the Lead Applied AI Engineer, you will contribute across the complete application stack. You will develop proof-of-concept applications that allow new AI-enabled workflows to be tested quickly with users, while designing them with a clear path toward validation, deployment, and sustainable use.
You will build backend services, APIs, user-facing application components, data-access layers, workflow logic, state-management mechanisms, and integrations with scientific tools, enterprise services, and approved AI capabilities. You will connect large language models, agentic workflows, analytical models, and enterprise data sources into coherent applications that users can interact with and evaluate.
You will take end-to-end engineering ownership of solutions across their lifecycle, moving fluidly between rapid prototyping and production-grade software development. As use cases mature, you will strengthen their architecture, testing, security, performance, observability, error handling, auditability, and maintainability. You will ensure that applications remain reliable even when AI models, tools, or external services behave unpredictably.
You will establish and apply strong software engineering practices, including modular design, version control, automated testing, code review, CI/CD, containerization, logging, monitoring, and technical documentation. You will promote the reuse of software components and application patterns across use cases without slowing down early experimentation.
You will work in close partnership with IT architecture, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and platform teams. Your role will focus on the rapid development and engineering of use-case-specific AI applications, complementing IT ownership of shared platforms, enterprise infrastructure, identity and access management, cybersecurity controls, production environments, and long-term operational services.
Staying current with modern full-stack development, cloud-native architectures, and AI application engineering, you will help the team demonstrate value quickly to users while ensuring that successful prototypes can become secure, scalable, and sustainable enterprise applications.
