Introduction to Role
The Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Operations team (ML/AI Ops) is a newly formed team will spearhead the design, creation, and operational excellence of our entire Generative AI, agentic systems, and LLM computational AWS ecosystem to catalyze and accelerate science led innovations.

This team is responsible and accountable for the design, implementation, deployment, health and performance of all algorithms, models, Generative AI operations (GenAI Ops, AIOps, and LLMOps) and Data Science Platform. We manage Generative AI and broader cloud resources, automating operations through infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines, and ensure best-in-class operations – striving to push even beyond mere compliance with industry standards such as Good Clinical Practices and Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP).

This position requires a deep understanding of cloud-native Generative AI and LLMOps methodologies, AWS infrastructure, State-of-the-art (SOTA) Foundation Models, prompt engineering pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, and AWS GenAI Services (Bedrock, Sage Maker for LLMs), and the unique demands of regulated industries, making it a cornerstone of our success in delivering impactful solutions to the pharmaceutical industry.
