About the Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE) to sit at the intersection of AI engineering and customer success. You will work directly with pharma clients to deploy, integrate, and scale AI-powered solutions - translating complex technical capabilities into real-world workflows. This is a hands-on, client-facing engineering role where you own outcomes, not just deliverables.

What You'll Do

Partner with pharma clients from pilot to production - leading technical onboarding, integration, and go-live

Build and maintain API integrations between AI platforms and client systems (EHR, CTMS, regulatory, lab, and commercial systems)

Deploy AI/ML models and inference services on cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - ensuring reliability, security, and scalability

Translate domain-specific pharma workflows (clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, regulatory submissions, drug discovery) into technical requirements

Debug integration issues in production, triage model behavior, and coordinate with internal engineering teams on fixes

Develop reusable reference architectures, integration playbooks, and technical documentation

Act as a trusted technical advisor to client engineering and IT teams

Surface product feedback from the field to inform the roadmap

What You Bring

4+ years of software or integration engineering experience

Strong proficiency in Python; experience with REST API design, OAuth, and webhook integrations





Hands-on cloud deployment experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - containers, serverless, IAM, networking

Familiarity with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI) and prompt engineering basics

Hands-on data engineering experience with Snowflake or Databricks - data pipelines, transformations, and working with large structured/unstructured datasets

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)

Domain

Working knowledge of the pharmaceutical value chain - clinical development, regulatory affairs (FDA/EMA), pharmacovigilance, or commercial operations

Familiarity with pharma data standards (CDISC, HL7/FHIR, MedDRA) is a strong plus

Understanding of pharma compliance and data privacy requirements (21 CFR Part 11, GxP, HIPAA)

Soft Skills

Comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving client environments

Strong communicator - able to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

Experience with RAG pipelines, vector databases, or document AI (OCR, NLP)

Background in a pharma/biotech company or a consulting firm serving the life sciences sector

Familiarity with platforms like Veeva, Medidata, or Oracle Health Sciences

What Success Looks Like In the first 30 days, you're embedded with a client team and have shipped at least one integration. In 90 days, you're running deployments independently and have become the go-to technical resource for your accounts.
