You will bridge data engineering with innovation: orchestrating advanced pipelines, ensuring auto-generated ETL and schema mappings are correct, and experimenting with the newest techniques-such as MCP servers, prompt engineering strategies (ReACT, chain-of-thought, etc.), and LLM-assisted tooling-to make biomarker data accessible, trustworthy, and actionable. Key Responsibilities:
With a single vision as inspiring as Transforming patients' lives through science™ , every BMS employee plays an integral role in work that goes far beyond ordinary. Each of us is empowered to apply our individual talents and unique perspectives in a supportive culture, promoting global participation in clinical trials, while our shared values of passion, innovation, urgency, accountability, inclusion and integrity bring out the highest potential of each of our colleagues. On-site Protocol BMS has an occupancy structure that determines where an employee is required to conduct their work. This structure includes site-essential, site-by-design, field-based and remote-by-design jobs. The occupancy type that you are assigned is determined by the nature and responsibilities of your role: Site-essential roles require 100% of shifts onsite at your assigned facility. Site-by-design roles may be eligible for a hybrid work model with at least 50% onsite at your assigned facility. For these roles, onsite presence is considered an essential job function and is critical to collaboration, innovation, productivity, and a positive Company culture. For field-based and remote-by-design roles the ability to physically travel to visit customers, patients or business partners and to attend meetings on behalf of BMS as directed is an essential job function. BMS is dedicated to ensuring that people with disabilities can excel through a transparent recruitment process, reasonable workplace accommodations/adjustments and ongoing support in their roles. Applicants can request a reasonable workplace accommodation/adjustment prior to accepting a job offer. If you require reasonable accommodations/adjustments in completing this application, or in any part of the recruitment process, direct your inquiries to [email protected] .

Key Responsibilities:
- Enable biomarker discovery: Deliver data pipelines and mappings that help translational leaders identify biomarkers (molecular, digital, imaging) for patient stratification and treatment response.
- Innovate with AI/LLMs: Explore and apply cutting-edge approaches (MCP servers, prompt orchestration, auto-schema mapping, LLM-based ETL generation) to accelerate and improve data workflows.
- Data orchestration: Oversee ingestion from diverse sources (vendor feeds, raw instruments, CSV, PDF, etc.), ensuring automated ETL and sample-to-target mapping & transformation (STTM) outputs meet stakeholder needs.
- Quality and profiling: Assess and validate source data, documenting any cleaning, normalization of semantic mapping that needs to be applied for optimal QC, and identify where improvements are required vs merely convenient.
- Hands-on implementation: Build or adapt tools/scripts (Python, SQL, AWS Glue, Databricks, etc.) when automation falls short.
- Stakeholder collaboration: Act as a partner to translational medicine leaders-communicating progress, and brainstorming next steps as priorities evolve.
- Agile team contribution: Participate actively in standups, design sessions, sprint demos and innovation discussions.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Bioinformatics, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering, ideally with exposure to life sciences or healthcare.
- Strong experience with data integration from heterogeneous sources (structured, semi-structured, unstructured).
- Proficiency in AWS, Python and SQL, with ability to prototype and automate workflows.
- Hands-on expertise with ETL frameworks (AWS Glue, Databricks, Airflow)
- Familiarity with modern AI/LLM approaches for data transformation and semantic mapping is highly desirable.
- Excellent communication skills to engage both technical and scientific stakeholders.
- Comfortable in agile, exploratory, scientific environments
- Direct scientific impact: Your work connects directly to patient-centric translational decisions.
- Innovation: You are encouraged to explore new technologies and approaches, not just maintain existing ones.
- Automation first: Instead of building every pipeline from scratch, you orchestrate and validate auto-generated ETLs and mappings.
- Collaborative science + engineering: You will brainstorm with scientists, demo working solutions, and help shape the future of translational data products.
