Job Description

We are looking for passionate and driven professionals to join DataZymes, a next-generation analytics and data science company founded in 2016. At DataZymes, we focus on driving technology-led innovation and helping clients maximize the value of their data and analytics investments through cutting-edge platforms and consulting expertise. If you are excited about working on impactful solutions in the healthcare analytics space and want to be part of a high-performance, fast-growing team, we’d love to hear from you.



We are a data and analytics services
firm purpose-built for the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry. Our
clients span 
commercial analytics, medical
affairs, real-world evidence, and clinical operations.
We are now building the capability
that will define the next phase of this business: 
production-grade agentic AI embedded in the workflows our clients
rely on daily.

 

This role is not a strategy position.
It is not a research position. It is a 
builder-leader role. You will architect and ship
multi-agent systems that operate autonomously across pharma data pipelines,
regulatory intelligence workflows, and cross-functional analytics use cases.
You will write code, own production deployments, and lead a small team doing
the same.

 

The ideal candidate has deep technical
fluency in agentic frameworks, understands the
 compliance,
data governance, and validation expectations of the pharma industry
,
and can translate both into working
systems, not slide decks.



Requirements

·     Design and build end-to-end agentic systems
combining LLMs, multi-agent orchestration, enterprise data pipelines, and
pharma-specific business logic. Ship production-grade systems, not prototypes.

·     Select and implement the right orchestration
approach across no-code, low-code, and pro-code patterns based on use case
complexity and client readiness.

·     Architect
retrieval and knowledge services (RAG, knowledge graphs) over structured and
unstructured pharma data: Rx, claims, engagement, clinical trial data, RWE
datasets, label text, and scientific literature. Includes RAG pipelines,
knowledge graphs for entity-relationship modeling (HCP, drug, indication, trial
networks), hybrid search, and retrieval evaluation frameworks.

·     Build observability, monitoring, and
evaluation frameworks to track agent behavior in production. Define guardrails,
failure modes, and human-in-the-loop escalation points.

·     Integrate with upstream pharma data platforms
(IQVIA, Symphony, Komodo, Veeva) and downstream delivery surfaces via APIs and
workflow hooks.

PHARMA DOMAIN APPLICATION

·     Translate
commercial analytics, medical affairs, and clinical operations workflows into
agentic automation opportunities. Target high-volume, high-complexity,
logic-intensive processes first.

·     Build agents
that operate over 21 CFR Part 11-aware environments. Understand what
auditability, validation, and traceability mean for autonomous systems in a
regulated context.

·     Develop
intelligent document processing pipelines for clinical study reports, drug
labels, HEOR submissions, and payer dossiers.

·     Apply
agentic AI to KOL identification and mapping, literature synthesis, competitive
intelligence, and signal detection workflows.

LEADERSHIP & CLIENT DELIVERY

·     Lead a team of AI engineers and ML
practitioners. Set technical direction, review architecture decisions, and
maintain a high bar for production quality.

·     Partner with client-facing teams to scope
agentic AI engagements: define the use case, design the solution architecture,
and own delivery accountability.

·     Communicate complex agent system behavior to
non-technical pharma stakeholders. Bridge the gap between what agents do and
what the business needs to trust.

·     Champion AI governance practices aligned with
industry standards: documented agent decision logic, bias audits, and
traceability to source data.

·     Build internal capability by mentoring team
members and establishing the firm's agentic AI playbook as a reusable asset.

 

 

 

 

What
You Bring

TECHNICAL DEPTH (REQUIRED)

·     8+ years in software or ML
engineering; 3+ years with production LLM or agentic AI systems.

·     Hands-on proficiency with agentic
frameworks: LangGraph, LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or equivalent. Model Context
Protocol (MCP) familiarity strongly preferred.

·     Direct SDK experience: Anthropic
(Agents SDK, tool use, Claude API), OpenAI (Assistants API, function calling),
Google (Vertex AI Agent Builder, Gemini API). Model Context Protocol (MCP)
strongly preferred.

·     Python fluency. Ability to build,
test, and deploy production code, not just notebooks.

·     Strong RAG architecture skills:
chunking strategies, embedding models, vector stores, knowledge graphs for
entity-relationship modeling (drug-indication-HCP-trial), hybrid search,
retrieval evaluation.

·     Cloud-native deployment: AWS,
Azure, or GCP. Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD,
infrastructure-as-code.

·     Observability tooling for AI
systems: logging agent traces, eval frameworks, cost management, drift
detection.

PHARMA / LIFE SCIENCES DOMAIN (REQUIRED)

·     Working knowledge of pharma commercial data
ecosystems: Rx/claims data, NPI-level analytics, market access, brand
performance

·     Familiarity with regulated data environments: GxP,
21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA-compliant data handling, audit trail requirements

·     Exposure to at least two of: medical affairs
analytics, real-world evidence, clinical operations data, or HEOR/market access
workflows

·     Comfort reading and reasoning over scientific and
regulatory documents: labels, clinical study reports, AMCP dossiers, payer
briefs

LEADERSHIP & COMMUNICATION (REQUIRED)

·     5+ years leading technical teams or delivery
workstreams, including mentoring engineers and managing project scope and
timelines

·     Track record of shipping production AI solutions
with measurable business impact, not just proof-of-concepts

·     Comfortable in executive-level conversations:
scoping engagements, presenting architecture trade-offs, and aligning on
governance expectations

·     Strong written communication. You can write a
crisp technical spec and a clear client-facing proposal without switching tools

GOOD TO HAVE

·     Experience with Veeva Vault, Medidata, or IQVIA
platform integrations

·     Knowledge of reinforcement learning from human
feedback (RLHF) and fine-tuning workflows

·     Familiarity with EU AI Act and emerging FDA
guidance on AI/ML in clinical and regulatory contexts

·     Prior consulting or services-firm experience:
multi-client delivery, proposal development, engagement management
