Your Role

You will be the technical cornerstone of a high-impact, multi-agent platform that powers AI-amplified research and development. In this pivotal role, you will own the architecture and evolution of a production-grade agentic system that enables autonomous experiment design and automated reporting at scale. Your work will directly shape how science and technology interact, driving meaningful progress for patients and customers worldwide.

You will define and uphold engineering standards through hands-on code review, pairing, and concrete examples, ensuring quality and maintainability endure beyond individual contributors. You will build and maintain shared agentic infrastructure that allows multiple programs to contribute specialized agents within a single governed platform, connecting it to external tooling, partners, and the broader ecosystem for seamless integration and scalable growth.

You will own platform design decisions spanning data sources, access controls, agent composition patterns, scalability, and technical debt management. Within a SAFe delivery cadence, you will lead the technical roadmap, guiding both internal engineers and external contractors to maintain architectural consistency. You will ship production code, own CI/CD pipelines and observability, and drive robust testing and security practices for sensitive research data.

You will translate complex research and development requirements into reliable technical solutions and communicate them clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will mentor developers, lead by example, and help the team navigate the evolving AI landscape with disciplined, evidence-based decision making. As the permanent internal anchor for architecture and standards, you will ensure the platform remains reliable, secure, and extensible as the program scales.
