Senior Manager, Artificial Intelligence Data Engineer

Data Engineer

Global Development is embarking on a Digital Transformation project incorporating AI, machine learning, and automation to help us reduce cycle times, improve quality allowing us to focus on more meaningful work. We focus on developing and improving data pipelines, infrastructure, architecture, and analytic tools to allow resources to fuel our transformation. Working with a team of engineers, analysts, and scientists, you will contribute to modernizing our clinical data infrastructure. This highly visible role will be a technical and strategic liaison between the transformation projects and IT.

A key responsibility will be developing and optimizing schema and data models for clinical data. We ensure that those products are standard compliant and interoperable with other platforms and data sources. This role will also contribute to data governance strategy and to the development and management of tools improving and monitoring data quality. The data engineer will also develop processes to automate routine workflows. The engineer will also provide technical leadership and mentorship and will stay current with innovations in data engineering so that they may be evaluated for implementation. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, science-driven organization making a meaningful difference to patients worldwide.

When & where: Tarrytown, NY, Armonk, NY or Warren, NJ offices.

Discover your role:

• Work with a cross-functional team to optimize and implement our data strategy with a focus on optimization for digital transformation and the use of AI/ML
• Design and document end-to-end data architectures that support diverse analytic, operational, and research needs.
• Facilitate the implementation of a modern data platform (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, etc.)
• Identify opportunities and implement solutions to increase data interoperability and standardization among systems and across other business units.
• Develop and implement pipelines to monitor and improve both internal and external (i.e., from CRO partners) data quality.
• Work with informatics and AI engineers optimizing the utility of data for their respective pipelines.
