  • Data engineering and modeling: Ingest, transform, and model diverse datasets to make them usable and trustworthy for analytics and applications; Define data quality checks and ensure datasets are fit for intended use (document assumptions and limitations).
  • Application development and integration: Build user-facing applications or workflow experiences and integrate with upstream and downstream systems as needed; Support deployment, monitoring, and ongoing improvement of production applications.
  • Cross-functional leadership: Partner closely with product managers, data scientists, data engineers, governance, and platform teams to align scope, timelines, and standards; Communicate trade-offs clearly and unblock delivery through technical and stakeholder influence.

Essential Requirements:

  • Bachelors degree in Biology, Bioengineering, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics or related discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience working in biomedical research, bioengineering, bioinformatics or related domain.
  • Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry is essential for this role, 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.
  • Strong user empathy and workflow orientation, with proven ability to work directly with end users, clarify ambiguous requirements, and deliver iteratively.
  • Excellent communication skills and stakeholder management skills, with strong reliability and operational discipline.

  • Experience delivering solutions in regulated or sensitive-data environments, with strong attention to access control and audit needs.
  • Familiarity with product discovery methods (problem framing, value definition, iterative MVP delivery).
  • Experience with analytics, AI, or machine learning enablement within production applications.
