Job description
We are hiring a Predictive Modeling contractor to support our biotechnology client's project needs for AI rapid prototyping and Predictive Modeling. This role focuses on co-developing shared data and technical foundations (e.g. Ontologies, Knowledge Graphs), prototyping agentic AI capabilities, and advancing predictive models for drug safety risk prediction across the product lifecycle.
This is a 14-month contract position based in South San Francisco, CA.
Responsibilities
- AI Prototyping & MCP Tool Development: Rapidly explore, evaluate, and prototype emerging AI tools and agentic capabilities, specifically developing MCP tools and AI agent integrations.
- Predictive Modeling: Build and refine predictive models using multi-modal datasets (including in vitro, in vivo, omics, clinical trial data, real-world data (RWD), and spontaneous safety reports) to enable risk prediction from early molecule-level evaluation to late-stage and post-marketing patient safety.
- Architecture & Platform Design: Translate feasibility findings and prototype evaluations into concrete architectural design and platform requirements for shared data and technical foundations.
- Co-Development & Governance Collaboration: Work in an agile way to prototype reusable technical capabilities before transitioning components for formal validation, compliance, and production rollout.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with data scientists, safety scientists and technical partners to ensure technical execution aligns with business priorities.
Qualifications
- MSc or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or a related quantitative field.
- Strong expertise in predictive modeling, machine learning, and AI prototyping.
- Hands-on experience developing agentic AI systems, LLM tools, and MCP tools.
- Proficiency in handling biomedical datasets (omics, clinical trials, RWD, or in vitro/in vivo data).
- Agile prototyping mindset with software engineering skills tailored for data science.
- Domain Knowledge: Background in pharmacovigilance, drug safety, toxicology, or quantitative risk management is highly desirable.
- "AI native" approach to problem-solving with adaptability to fast-moving frameworks.
- Proactive attitude and strong communication skills suitable for global matrix team settings.
