This role owns hands-on software engineering delivery for the Medical Affairs AI Acceleration portfolio. This role turns solution architecture and product requirements into working, production-grade AI systems. This is a deeply technical, individual-contributor role. This position is accountable for designing components and writing, testing and shipping code to production.
Decisions made in this role — how a feature is implemented, how AI-generated code is verified before it reaches production, how quickly a validated prototype is hardened into a scalable system — directly determine the reliability and velocity of the AI systems Medical Affairs depends on. This role carries individual technical authority over its assigned build area, reporting into the Senior Director, Engineering alongside two peer Build Engineers and the Data Integration Engineer.
The role partners closely with Solution Architecture to implement architectural blueprints, with the Data Integration Engineer to incorporate data from various sources into the AI solutions, and with Product Management and UX/Experience Design to translate product and workflow requirements into working software solutions. Solutions will be deployed through the full life cycle including proofs of concepts, MVPs and production grade systems.
The Director, Build Engineer is a hands-on software engineer who builds, tests, and ships the AI-powered products and platforms that make up the Medical Affairs AI Acceleration portfolio. Reporting to the Senior Director, Engineering, this role takes solution architecture and product requirements from prototype through production — writing full-stack code, integrating Agentic AI and LLM-based capabilities, and verifying AI-generated code with the same rigor applied to human-written code. This is an individual-contributor role built for engineers who move fluidly across the stack, work comfortably in ambiguity, and take personal ownership of whether what they ship actually works in production.
Candidate demonstrates a breadth of diverse leadership experiences and capabilities including: the ability to influence and collaborate with peers, develop and coach others, oversee and guide the work of other colleagues to achieve meaningful outcomes and create business impact.
