This role does not manage people.

Organizational Context

As BMS Product Development & Supply (PDS) accelerates delivery of digital products and digital workers through Fusion Teams and scales adoption via Intelligence Hub the organization requires clear ownership of architecture reusable components and technical decision-rights.

The Analytics & AI Enablement (A&AIE) Architecture & Components Team is a highly technical team responsible for defining how digital solutions are built ensuring they are scalable operable and future-ready through PDS Aim Points with ambitions to revolutionize PDS use of AI by . Rather than delivering individual use cases this team establishes and stewards the shared architectural foundations and components including those used for the foundational data pipelines analytical models and business-facing reports and dashboards that enable broad consistent execution across PDS.

Position Summary

This senior individual-contributor role will architect and build the shared full-stack platform that powers analytics digital products and digital workers across PDS. The role focuses on distributed multi-service systems that combine an orchestration layer autonomous agents shared services and a federated frontend into a single internal platform-as-a-service treated as reusable foundations rather than one-off use cases.

You will work end to end from async backend services and APIs through to modern web frontends and you will design platforms that go beyond conversational interfaces to deliver autonomous analytical workflows standardized tool-calling and composable UI experiences. This is a deeply hands-on principal-level technical authority role; you set the bar through architecture reference implementations and engineering excellence.

Key Responsibilities

Platform & Multi-Service System Architecture

• Architect distributed multi-service platforms that orchestrate work across autonomous services and agents with conditional routing parallel execution and error recovery.

• Design the platform as an internal SaaS/PaaS: shared SDKs service contracts and reusable components that solution teams consume rather than rebuild.

• Build graph-based orchestration workflows combining LLM reasoning business logic real-time data integration and enterprise security patterns.

• Create reusable node/component libraries and extensible platform patterns supporting multiple business domains.

Backend Development & API Design

• Build production FastAPI (or similar) applications with async I/O patterns for persistence and external services.

• Implement Server-Sent Events (SSE) and WebSocket protocols for real-time streaming responses.

• Design APIs and event-driven architectures for orchestration and service-to-service communication.

• Develop robust error handling graceful degradation and enterprise security integration (SSO access control) deploying containerized services via CI/CD.

Frontend & Unified Experience

• Build modern web frontends (e.g. React) and design micro-frontend / Module Federation composition so independently built modules form one coherent experience.

• Develop and steward a shared component library and design system used across the platform.

• Design AI-enhanced UI patterns for streaming responses chat and analytical/canvas visualization.

MCP Development & Dual-Intent Delivery

• Make MCP development and hosting a first-class platform capability ensuring every solution is dual-intent: delivered both as a full-stack web experience and through Claude Desktop.

• Design build and host production MCP servers that expose platform services and tools so the same underlying capabilities power both the web UI and Claude Desktop with no divergence between the two surfaces.

• Define golden-path patterns templates and shared MCP servers (tools resources prompts transport and authentication) that solution teams reuse to ship dual-intent solutions quickly.

• Establish MCP hosting versioning security and operational standards for seamless enterprise-grade integration with Claude Desktop.

LLM Integration Orchestration & Tool Calling

• Integrate cloud LLM providers (AWS Bedrock or comparable) into platform services.

• Design prompt management with versioning templating and dynamic compilation.

• Implement conversation/state persistence (e.g. Redis checkpointing) for multi-turn workflows.

• Build standardized tool-calling that connects agents and external clients to data sources and services with the Model Context Protocol as the primary integration surface.

Reusability Observability & Optimization

• Treat internal developers as customers: provide golden-path templates clear contracts and documentation that accelerate delivery.

• Define standards for versioning contracts and backward compatibility across the component ecosystem.

• Integrate observability and tracing; build monitoring for performance latency cost and quality and optimize resource and token usage across production workflows.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with cloud AI data and UX engineers on the team to integrate full-stack work with infrastructure agentic capabilities and interaction design.

• Partner with Enterprise engineering and governance teams to align standards controls and shared services.

• Provide technical mentorship on solution patterns system design and platform best practices and contribute to architecture reviews and documentation.

Desired Experience Required

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science Engineering AI Data Science or a related field.

• 6 years of software engineering experience with deep full-stack delivery including production experience building LLM-powered or agentic applications.

• Strong Python including async patterns (asyncio async/await) and Python-based automation.

• Production experience with async web frameworks (FastAPI or similar) REST and event-driven / streaming architectures (WebSocket/SSE queues streams).

• Strong working knowledge of modern web frontends (React) and micro-frontend / Module Federation composition; deep frontend and design-system expertise a strong plus.

• Experience designing distributed multi-service systems with well-defined contracts between components and building an internal platform SaaS/PaaS or shared developer platform.

• Experience with agentic orchestration frameworks (LangGraph preferred; LangChain CrewAI Autogen or similar) and integration with cloud LLM providers (AWS Bedrock Azure OpenAI Anthropic or OpenAI) including onboarding and standardizing these frameworks for solution teams.

• Strong platform and cloud depth: Docker and Kubernetes / Amazon EKS infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation) Git and CI/CD service mesh policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper) and production observability (e.g. Prometheus Grafana Loki) on AWS (Azure and/or GCP a plus).

• Experience owning platform governance security and self-service onboarding for a shared platform IAM/SSO group-based authorization and policy-as-code acting as a technical gatekeeper for the teams that consume it.

Critical Platform & Agentic Systems Experience

• Built autonomous multi-step systems performing analytical tasks beyond simple chatbots.

• Designed distributed platforms with service orchestration conditional logic and state management.

• Developed and hosted production MCP servers with demonstrated adoption across capabilities.

• Delivered dual-intent solutions where the same services power both a web experience and an LLM/desktop client via MCP.

• Implemented standardized tool-calling for external system integration.

• Designed shared SDKs/contracts and managed API/contract evolution across many consumers.

• Prompt engineering at scale (templating versioning optimization) and understanding of agentic design patterns (ReAct Plan-and-Execute tool-use agents).

• Strong problem-solving communication and ability to set technical direction and influence in globally distributed teams.

Ideal Candidates Would Also Have

• Prior experience in global life sciences pharma or supply chain especially in Product Development & Supply (PDS).

• Experience in regulated environments (GxP GDPR PII) and embedding compliance into platform design.

• Experience scaling an internal platform across multiple product/domain teams and managing the resulting contract and dependency surface.

• Experience working internationally with globally dispersed teams.

Other Qualifications

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence technical decisions without direct authority.

• Hands-on experience implementing Agentic AI solutions and/or MCP is preferred.

• Relevant cloud certification (e.g. AWS) is a plus.
