What if you could take an ambitious AI idea and turn it into a product that scientists, clinicians, and business teams actually use? In this hands-on, builder-first role, you'll work directly with teams across life sciences and healthcare to translate complex problems into practical AI-powered solutions. You'll move from discovery and rapid prototyping to full-stack product engineering, enterprise integration, deployment, and continuous improvement, using foundation models, AI-assisted development tools, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic approaches, and reusable platforms. This is an opportunity to stay close to the code while shaping solutions with users and turning promising prototypes into secure, scalable products with measurable impact.
