Incorporate microservices, APIs, MCPs, event-driven processes, and middleware within enterprise systems.
Use critical thinking to investigate issues with systems and data, and identify solutions for short-term remediation and long-term strategy.
Implement CI/CD practices for software applications.
Monitor model performance in production and manage model drift, retraining, and rollback strategies.
Ensure compliance with data governance, privacy, and security standards.
Requirements:
Must have a minimum of 8 years of strong experience in software engineering; Pharma/Life Sciences experience is a plus.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.

Strong proficiency in Python and React; Java or TypeScript familiarity.
Solid grasp of REST APIs, MCPs, FastAPI, and JSON/XML and knowledge about TensorFlow or PyTorch.
