Picture a company redefining how life sciences harness data — one that turns the noise of fragmented scientific systems into the clarity that accelerates discovery, development, and ultimately, human progress.

This

Scientific Data Cloud pioneer

has built a cloud-native ecosystem engineered specifically for the life sciences, connecting laboratory instruments, informatics systems, and analytics applications into a single, intelligent network. The result: harmonized, actionable scientific data that transforms R&D velocity and precision across discovery and development.

Trusted by the world’s leading biopharma innovators, their open platform serves as the digital nervous system for scientific operations — empowering researchers and partners to unlock insights at unprecedented scale.

Think of it as

the Palantir of Life Sciences

— designed not just to visualize complexity, but to

ingest and process petabytes of scientific data

through

advanced taxonomies and ontologies

that bring structure, context, and meaning to an otherwise chaotic scientific landscape.

Through deep collaborations with global leaders in cloud computing and AI, this company is building the foundation for a new era of

Scientific Intelligence

— one where every experiment, every dataset, and every discovery is connected, contextualized, and exponentially more powerful than before.

We’re looking for experienced

Senior Platform Engineers

with deep expertise in distributed systems, high availability, and large-scale data engineering in cloud-native environments.

Your mission: build a next-generation AI platform that empowers scientists and engineers to operationalize advanced machine learning models at global scale.

This company operates at the intersection of

life sciences, cloud computing, and AI , transforming how scientific data is collected, harmonized, and activated. Their cloud-native platform unifies data from complex laboratory and informatics systems into a single, intelligent framework — unlocking faster, more reproducible breakthroughs in discovery and development.

Trusted by the world’s leading biopharma innovators, this organization is shaping the future of

Scientific Intelligence , enabling researchers to leverage petabyte-scale data pipelines, advanced ontologies, and AI-driven analytics to accelerate progress from lab to life.

What You’ll Do As a Senior Platform Engineer , you’ll help architect and build our client’s

proprietary, next-generation AI platform

— their own internal equivalent to

AWS SageMaker . This platform will serve as the foundation for developing, training, and deploying advanced AI models across global scientific and biopharma environments.

Much like SageMaker, which provides a fully managed environment for machine learning, this system will enable teams to:

Rapidly build, train, and deploy

AI models at scale,

Seamlessly

integrate data pipelines

for high-volume ingestion and transformation, and

Deliver

secure, reliable, and production-grade AI workflows

across distributed cloud infrastructure.

You’ll collaborate across data, AI, and engineering teams to design resilient systems that power the company’s most ambitious machine learning and scientific data initiatives — enabling automation, scalability, and operational excellence

at the intersection of AI and life sciences.

Responsibilities

Architect, build, and maintain

cloud-native infrastructure

for AI and data workloads using platforms like Databricks and AWS Bedrock.

Develop scalable

data pipelines

to ingest, transform, and serve data for ML, analytics, and scientific applications.

Implement

infrastructure-as-code

using tools such as CloudFormation and AWS CDK to ensure consistency and security.

Partner with AI engineers and data scientists to optimize model deployment, monitoring, and performance.

Lead

observability best practices , including advanced monitoring, alerting, and logging across AI systems.

Evolve the AI platform to support emerging frameworks, data modalities, and use cases.

Research and recommend

cutting-edge tools

and approaches to improve scalability, cost-efficiency, and speed.

Integrate AI and

LLM-based architectures

(e.g., retrieval-augmented generation) into production environments.

What You Bring Preferred Experience

Familiarity with emerging

LLM orchestration frameworks

(e.g., DSPy) for complex prompt pipelines.

Experience with

vector databases / embedding stores

(e.g., OpenSearch, Pinecone) for semantic search and retrieval.

Understanding of

LLM cost optimization, latency reduction,

and usage analytics at scale.

Required Experience

7+ years of professional experience in

software or infrastructure engineering , including production AI systems.

Proven expertise in

building and maintaining ML infrastructure , including model deployment, lifecycle management, and automation.

Deep knowledge of

AWS

and modern infrastructure-as-code frameworks (ideally CDK).

Expert-level proficiency in

TypeScript

and

Python

for backend and API development.

Hands-on experience with

Databricks MLFlow , including model registration, versioning, and serving.

Strong understanding of

containerization (Docker) ,

CI/CD pipelines , and orchestration tools (e.g., ECS).

Demonstrated ability to design secure, scalable, and fault-tolerant infrastructure for real-time and batch AI workloads.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
