Develop ETL/ELT pipelines using tools such as Informatica, Talend, Apache NiFi, and cloud-native services (e.g., AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory). Implement master data management (MDM), metadata management, and data cataloging solutions to ensure proper data lineage, accessibility, and compliance. Set and enforce standards for API development and data integration (REST, GraphQL, OData), enabling seamless integration using microservices architectures. Ownership orientation: you define your own problem space, drive solutions to completion, and hold yourself accountable to outcomes - not just outputs. Solution-architect instinct: you think before you build, consider the full landscape of available approaches, and choose tools based on fit-for-purpose reasoning rather than familiarity or trend. Scientific integrity: you build models you can explain, defend, and improve - and you apply the same standard to the work of others. Influence through credibility: you earn the confidence of scientists, engineers, and quality professionals by being right, being clear, and being useful - not by title or volume. Bias for impact: you are drawn to problems where the stakes are high and the analytical opportunity is real, and you are energized rather than intimidated by ambiguity. Preferred: 3+ years of hands-on experience designing and building enterprise-grade data pipelines, integration workflows, and data products in complex, multi-source environments. Familiarity with technology transfer workflows, process characterization study design, or commercial process validation (PPQ/PV) in a biologics or pharmaceutical context. Experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, or other regulated life sciences manufacturing environments. Familiarity with GxP data principles, 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, or data integrity requirements in regulated industries. Prior exposure to manufacturing source systems such as MES, process historians (e.g., OSIsoft PI/AVEVA), LIMS, QMS, or ERP platforms Experience building data infrastructure for AI/ML programs - including feature engineering pipelines, model training datasets, or vector/embedding data layers for RAG architectures. Knowledge of biologics manufacturing processes (e.g., upstream cell culture, downstream purification, fill-finish) or CMC development workflows. Familiarity with data mesh, data fabric, or federated data architecture patterns. Experience with graph databases, knowledge graphs, or ontology frameworks applied to scientific or manufacturing data. Contributions to open-source data tooling or demonstrated engagement with the modern data engineering community.

Write and maintain infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks for data systems. Support platform onboarding of new CMC data domains and manufacturing sites, ensuring consistent application of standards and patterns. Provide operational support for production data pipelines, maintaining uptime and data freshness commitments. Stakeholder Engagement & Scientific Leadership Influence technical decision-making without formal authority - earning trust through scientific rigor, transparent methodology, and demonstrated business impact. Qualifications Required: Bachelor's Degree Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Bioinformatics, or a closely related technical field plus 6 years' experience; Master's Degree plus 5 years' experience; PhD plus 0 years' experience. Respective years of hands-on experience designing and building enterprise-grade data pipelines, integration workflows, and data products in complex, multi-source environments. Expert-level proficiency in Python for data engineering tasks - pipeline development, transformation logic, data validation, and automation. Strong SQL skills across modern analytical and transactional databases; comfort with both ANSI SQL and platform-specific dialects. Demonstrated experience with cloud data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern data stack components - including tools such as dbt, Spark, Airflow, Databricks, Snowflake, or equivalents.

Implement master data management (MDM), metadata management, and data cataloging solutions to ensure proper data lineage, accessibility, and compliance. Set and enforce standards for API development and data integration (REST, GraphQL, OData), enabling seamless integration using microservices architectures. Ownership orientation: you define your own problem space, drive solutions to completion, and hold yourself accountable to outcomes - not just outputs. Solution-architect instinct: you think before you build, consider the full landscape of available approaches, and choose tools based on fit-for-purpose reasoning rather than familiarity or trend. Scientific integrity: you build models you can explain, defend, and improve - and you apply the same standard to the work of others. Influence through credibility: you earn the confidence of scientists, engineers, and quality professionals by being right, being clear, and being useful - not by title or volume. Bias for impact: you are drawn to problems where the stakes are high and the analytical opportunity is real, and you are energized rather than intimidated by ambiguity. Preferred: 3+ years of hands-on experience designing and building enterprise-grade data pipelines, integration workflows, and data products in complex, multi-source environments. Familiarity with technology transfer workflows, process characterization study design, or commercial process validation (PPQ/PV) in a biologics or pharmaceutical context.
