  • Design and implement scalable data models for capturing AI-extracted Neuroscience clinical data from diverse sources.
  • Design and optimize Nextflow/Tower pipelines integrating AWS S3, Snowflake, and TileDB for large-scale multi-omics data processing.
  • Establish reusable modules to standardize assay outputs into harmonized formats for data science and AI applications.
  • Embed FAIR data principles and compliance requirements into workflows in collaboration with architecture and governance teams.
  • Lead pipeline optimization, code reviews, and the development of engineering best practices.
  • Partner with AI/ML teams to deliver high-quality, AI-compatible datasets for modeling and knowledge extraction.
  • Mentor junior engineers and drive workflow standardization and optimization across various studies.

What we're looking for

  • MS/PhD in Bioinformatics, Data Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • 5+ years of experience developing data pipelines in life sciences, drug discovery research, or analytics environments.
  • Hands-on experience with clinical data formats and models such as CDISC SDTM/ADaM, FHIR, or OMOP.
  • Hands-on experience with multi-omics workflows including proteomics, RNA-seq, metabolomics, or single-cell.
  • Hands-on experience with embedding or vector representation techniques for scientific data integration.
  • Proficiency with Nextflow, AWS, and scripting in Python or Bash.
  • Familiarity with Snowflake, TileDB, and scientific data formats.
  • Familiarity with clinical trial data and scientific literature.
  • Industry and/or Neuroscience experience (preferred).
  • Experience with an emphasis on Neuroscience (Neurodegeneration, Neuropsychiatry, or Ophthalmology) (preferred).
