This role is perfect for a leader with expertise in computational biology, clinical research, and scalable data systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and manage end-to-end data pipelines for ingesting and analyzing de-identified RWE, preclinical data, and public datasets (e.g., TCGA, ChEMBL) using Python, pandas, and cloud tools.
• Ensure data quality, privacy, and compliance with HIPAA, FDA (21 CFR Part 11), and GDPR, focusing on de-identification and bias mitigation.
• Lead integration of computational biology (e.g., genomics, AlphaFold protein modeling) into AI models for therapy-agnostic outcome predictions.
• Collaborate with AI teams to develop predictive models (e.g., XGBoost, PyTorch) for clinical trials and personalized medicine.
• Optimize data operations for scalability and cost-efficiency, handling large, diverse health datasets.
• Oversee cross-functional teams (remote/hybrid) to troubleshoot issues, audit data, and deliver client-ready insights.
• Stay ahead of US pharma trends (e.g., RWE, precision medicine) to enhance platform capabilities.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Master’s or PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Data Science, or related field.
• 4+ years in data science or operations in US pharma/biotech, with expertise in clinical research (e.g., trials, RWE).
• Deep knowledge of computational biology (e.g., genomics, RDKit/AlphaFold for drug-protein interactions).
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, ETL tools (e.g., Airflow), and big data frameworks (e.g., Spark).
• Familiarity with US pharma regulations (HIPAA, FDA) and clinical trial processes (Phase 1-3).
• Experience with AI/ML for health data (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch).
• Based in India; open to remote or hybrid work in Pune.
• Strong leadership and communication skills for global client collaboration.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) for secure data processing.
• Knowledge of SaaS platforms and API integrations for client data.
• Background in oncology or precision medicine (e.g., breast cancer outcome predictions).
• Expertise in mitigating data biases for fair AI predictions.

What We Offer

• Highly Competitive salary based on experience with performance bonuses.
• Flexible remote/hybrid work, health benefits, and learning opportunities.
• Leadership role in cutting-edge US pharma AI innovation with travel opportunities in the US
• Collaborative, global team environment.
