To fully realize Pfizer’s purpose – Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives – we have established a clear set of expectations regarding what we need to achieve for patients and how we will go about achieving those goals.

Pfizer Digital takes immense pride in being at the forefront of innovation, harnessing cutting‑edge smart technology that profoundly impacts the lives of our patients.

Pfizer offers competitive compensation and benefits programs designed to meet the diverse needs of our colleagues.

Pfizer’s purpose, breakthroughs that change patients’ lives, is rooted in being science‑driven and a patient‑focused company. Digital and Technology is the driving force of data and AI innovation at Pfizer.

The Data and AI Platforms team, part of the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence organization, is responsible for creating a seamless experience for engineers to harness data, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, agentic, and visualization capabilities through a unified platform across the enterprise – from research and development, clinical, manufacturing, commercial and enabling functions across all geographies. The team is responsible for the self‑service platform ecosystem, developer experience, and exploration of emerging technology.

In this role, you will act as a Platform Engineer expert for the pro‑code Agent Platform that serves a diverse group of colleagues – ranging from novice business analysts and developers to expert data scientists and principal engineers – across the enterprise. The role will require the ability to flex between technical engineering of the platform and hands‑on working knowledge creating Azure solutions and pro‑code AI agent applications as a "Customer Zero" of the platform.

You will be an engineering and operations leader for the Azure‑based Agent Platform, including integration of Microsoft Foundry services to enable secure, scalable, and compliant pro‑code AI agents and data applications.

Design and build a "reliable", "transparent", "interoperable" and "sustainable" enterprise‑grade platform with security, governance, cost management, and lifecycle in mind; guide the roadmap; and mentor engineers while collaborating with architecture, security, and product teams to deliver a best‑in‑class developer experience. This will include using Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform) to provision cloud resources in a consistent, repeatable way, ensure environments are highly available and easily reproducible while ensuring tracing, monitoring, and observability of agents.

You will also integrate Azure’s latest capabilities (including Azure Microsoft Foundry for Agentic AI applications) into the platform, helping the organization leverage Agentic AI in business solutions.

You may have a software development, systems engineering, or Dev Ops background, or you might have started your career in cloud platform engineering with modern infrastructure automation practices and have a passion for building robust cloud platforms that empower teams to move faster. You will have the ability to build "trusted partnerships" with technology vendors, support resources, delivery partners, Pfizer stakeholders, and apply emerging and traditional technologies for analytics improvements in support of the Agent Platform strategy.
