  • 8+ years of experience working in biomedical research, bioengineering, bioinformatics or related domain.
  • Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry is essential, building and operationalizing solutions (pipelines, ontology, applications, and access controls), with a Foundry-first engineering and delivery mindset.
  • Solid experience in partnering with stakeholders to understand challenges and define effective solutions, developing and delivering Proof of Concepts to validate ideas and demonstrate business value.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering software, data, or analytics products in a fast-paced, user-facing environment, with expertise in rapid prototyping to production execution.
  • Strong programming skills and comfort working across data and application layers.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
