Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Lead technical engagements with prospective and existing customers as the primary solution consultant, technical advisor, and embedded engineer for agentic AI and agent system deployments in clinical development.
• Partner with customer stakeholders across clinical operations, data science, IT, and C-level executives to scope requirements and deploy agentic AI systems enabling autonomous clinical workflows with human oversight.
• Design, architect, and implement tailored solutions integrating Medable’s platform with eClinical systems (EDC, eCOA, CTMS, RTSM/IWRS), enterprise environments, and agentic AI frameworks to build autonomous systems for end-to-end trial automation.
• Demonstrate Medable capabilities through live demos, technical deep dives, proof-of-concepts, and production deployments showcasing autonomous agents, reasoning loops, multi-agent orchestration, and goal-driven adaptation in clinical contexts.
• Build, deploy, and optimize agentic AI and agent systems in regulated environments, enabling capabilities like real-time patient matching, adaptive protocol execution, predictive risk mitigation, automated data reconciliation, and trial simulation—while enforcing human-in-the-loop safeguards.
• Incorporate robust human-in-the-loop systems throughout agentic deployments, including intervention points, validation workflows, and hybrid decision-making to maintain compliance, ethical standards, and human accountability.
• Wrangle large-scale clinical, real-world, and operational data to power agentic AI reasoning and agent coordination, accelerating autonomous insights while ensuring seamless integration with human review processes.
• Develop custom integrations, APIs, configurations, and tooling to support agentic AI autonomy and agent system interoperability, addressing customer-specific needs like decentralized trial flows or adaptive designs.
• Troubleshoot and refine agentic AI deployments on-site or remotely, optimizing for scalability, reliability, low-latency reasoning, and effective human-AI collaboration in production clinical environments.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to relay field insights, prioritize features for autonomous clinical systems with human safeguards, and influence roadmap decisions.
• Contribute to RFPs, technical proposals, solution designs, and executive presentations highlighting the transformative impact of agentic AI in enabling autonomous yet compliant clinical development.
• Drive adoption, quantify impact (e.g., reduced enrollment timelines, minimized protocol deviations, improved data integrity), and expand customer relationships to support revenue growth and sustained success.
• Perform other duties as assigned in a fast-evolving, AI-driven environment.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in technical consulting, solution engineering, forward deployed engineering, or implementation roles—ideally in life sciences, clinical research, health tech, or regulated AI-intensive industries.
• Proven track record deploying agentic AI systems and agent systems, including autonomous agents, goal-oriented reasoning, multi-agent orchestration, adaptive planning, tool-use integration, and iterative execution in complex, dynamic environments.
• Extensive experience designing and deploying regulated agentic AI with strong governance, auditability, compliance (e.g., GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR), and human-in-the-loop mechanisms to enable safe autonomous clinical development workflows.
• Demonstrated expertise in agent systems and agentic AI patterns—such as reasoning loops, multi-agent collaboration, retrieval-augmented execution, and guardrail frameworks—applied to clinical or life sciences use cases.
• 1+ years of post-college software engineering experience with end-to-end ownership in high-stakes, dynamic projects involving AI agent deployments.
• Strong background in enterprise integrations, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), APIs, data pipelines, modern architectures, and large-scale data handling to support agentic AI autonomy.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible remote work from the start with a commitment to a flexible employee experience.
• Competitive base salaries, annual performance-based bonus, and stock options aligning personal achievements to company success.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• Carrot Fertility Program, Health Saving Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), and wellness program covering mental, physical, and financial well-being.
• Peer-to-peer recognition program celebrating achievements and milestones.
• Volunteer time off to support causes employees care about.
