Our client  is building a governed data and AI platform, integrating device, laboratory, partner, and document data into a unified foundation that supports regulatory reporting, advanced analytics, and AI-driven scientific insights

The Data Engineer is a hands-on builder responsible for developing data pipelines, API integrations, and AI infrastructure that bring structured and unstructured data into a governed Azure-based architecture. This delivery-focused role requires designing, coding, testing, and maintaining production-ready solutions across both AI document ingestion and structured ETL/ELT data engineering tracks.

Key Responsibilities

Data Engineering & Integration

• Design, build, and maintain data pipelines that integrate laboratory, quality, design, and partner data into Azure Fabric Lakehouse and PostgreSQL using a Bronze-Silver-Gold architecture.
• Develop ETL/ELT processes with data validation, harmonization, auditability, data quality controls, and regulatory-compliant lineage from source to governed datasets.
• Build AI-ready document ingestion pipelines and MCP connectors for systems such as SharePoint, Qdocs/Veeva, Jama, and TurboAC, supporting semantic search, retrieval, and enterprise LLM applications.
• Develop partner data ingestion workflows leveraging OCR, LLM-based extraction, confidence scoring, and exception handling for external CMO/CRO documentation.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, operational documentation, and data lineage across all pipelines and integrations.

API & Platform Engineering

• Develop and maintain RESTful API and instrument data connectors with secure authentication, error handling, schema management, and production-grade reliability.
• Integrate Azure OpenAI (or equivalent) services into retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions using a vendor-agnostic architecture.
• Build and support cloud-native data solutions across Azure Fabric and AWS, including containerized services, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure security, secrets management, and cross-cloud data movement.

Data Modeling & Governance

• Implement and maintain PostgreSQL and medallion-layer data models, including harmonization logic, referential integrity, lineage tracking, and governed data standards.
• Partner with Data Architects and WBWD stakeholders to evolve schemas, data structures, and integration patterns as business requirements mature

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on data engineering or backend engineering experience delivering production-grade data pipelines, integrations, and relational data models.
• Strong experience building API integrations and data connectors using REST APIs, OAuth, webhooks, and modern integration frameworks; experience with MCP or similar protocols preferred.
• Experience designing and implementing document ingestion and AI search solutions, including OCR, chunking, embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) using Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Claude, or similar technologies.
• Proven expertise delivering production workloads on Microsoft Azure, including Azure Fabric (Lakehouse, Data Factory, Pipelines, Delta Lake), Azure Functions, Storage, and AI Services.
• Hands-on AWS experience supporting data engineering solutions using services such as S3, Lambda, API Gateway, Glue, and RDS/Aurora.
• Strong proficiency in Python and/or PySpark for pipeline orchestration, data transformation, API development, testing, and CI/CD automation.
• Experience designing and supporting ETL/ELT pipelines with data validation, quality controls, monitoring, error handling, and operational reliability.
• Advanced knowledge of PostgreSQL, relational database design, schema modeling, query optimization, and medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold) data platforms.
• Experience implementing data lineage, auditability, and governance controls within regulated or compliance-sensitive environments, including familiarity with ALCOA+ principles

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device development environments —working knowledge of regulated data requirements is a strong differentiator
• Familiarity with GxP data integrity requirements (21 CFR Part 11, ALCOA+) and their practical implications for data pipeline design, electronic records, and audit trail implementation
• Direct experience with any DDCS or WBWD systems: Oracle Agile PLM / Siemens Teamcenter, LabVantage LIMS, Darwin, Veeva Vault/QDocs, SmartLab/Biovia LES, NuGenesis NG9
• Microsoft Azure Data Engineer Associate or AWS Certified Data Engineer certification
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Bicep, Terraform) and GitOps deployment patterns for Azure-native data workloads
• Familiarity with LangChain, semantic chunking strategies, or embedding model selection for domain-specific scientific document retrieval
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric Unity Catalog, Delta Sharing, or governed data sharing patterns across workspaces
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes-based orchestration for data pipeline services in production environments
