Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Shape the future of evidence-driven medicine as a Senior Data Engineer on Parexel’s US Medical Affairs Evidence Generation team. You will co-architect the data backbone that powers more than 500 active clinical trials and 200+ insights-generation projects, translating raw information into life-saving therapies for patients worldwide.
- • Own end-to-end data strategy on cross-functional Study Management Teams (SMTs). Partner with Data Managers, biostatisticians, and medical leads to translate complex scientific questions into scalable data models, ensuring every dataset is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).
- • Serve as the technical conscience for innovation pilots that compress trial timelines and reduce patient burden. Evaluate emerging collection modalities—wearables, ePRO, imaging AI—and integrate them into production-grade pipelines that meet FDA, EMA, and internal quality standards.
- • Design and maintain enterprise-grade databases, data lakes, and cloud warehouses that ingest structured and unstructured data from EDC systems, labs, imaging cores, genomics vendors, and real-world sources. Optimize for security, performance, and cost while guaranteeing HIPAA and GDPR compliance.
- • Function as the Visual Analytics Manager for USMA, harmonizing medical data-review practices across oncology, immunology, rare disease, and other therapeutic areas. Build interactive Spotfire, Tableau, and Shiny dashboards that enable clinicians and researchers to spot safety signals, efficacy trends, and health-equity gaps in real time.
- • Provide expert consultation on SDTM and ADaM mapping, MedDRA/WHODrug coding, and CDISC standards. Mentor junior programmers and FSP partners, elevating code quality, documentation, and reproducibility across the portfolio.
- • Lead vendor selection and data-transfer agreements for external labs, imaging CROs, and digital-health partners. Negotiate technical specifications, validate incoming datasets, and institute automated QC surveillance that flags anomalies before they reach downstream analyses.
- • Drive risk-based data management by developing proactive timeline, resource, and quality forecasts. Use statistical process control and machine-learning anomaly detection to anticipate issues, enabling corrective action weeks before traditional monitoring would catch them.
- • Champion a culture of continuous improvement. Curate an internal “data innovations” repository, run quarterly hackathons, and pilot cloud-native tools (Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake) that cut ETL latency by 50 % and slash storage costs.
- • Translate complex technical concepts into crisp narratives for VPs, medical directors, and regulatory reviewers. Whether in a governance meeting or a regulatory briefing document, your clarity will accelerate decision-making and reinforce Parexel’s reputation for scientific rigor.
- • Travel up to 10 % for strategic planning summits, vendor audits, and key investigator meetings. Your presence ensures that data strategies align with on-the-ground realities and fosters trust with external collaborators.
🎯 Requirements
- • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Life Sciences, Data/Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or equivalent industry experience
- • Demonstrated expertise with clinical data standards: CDISC (SDTM, ADaM), ICH-GCP, MedDRA, WHODrug, and controlled terminology mapping
- • Hands-on proficiency in enterprise databases, SQL, and big-data technologies (Hadoop, Spark, Databricks) plus visualization tools (Spotfire, Tableau, Shiny)
- • Proven track record in clinical-trial data management, statistical programming, or related regulated environment
- • Strong software-engineering skills (Python, R, or Java) with experience building data pipelines, APIs, and reproducible analytical workflows
🏖️ Benefits
- • Fully remote-first role with flexible scheduling and the ability to work from anywhere in the U.S. while collaborating across global time zones
- • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and mental-wellness coverage starting day one, plus employer-funded HSA and generous 401(k) match
- • Annual professional-development stipend for conferences, certifications, and advanced coursework in data science, cloud architecture, or clinical research
- • Generous PTO (20+ days), paid volunteer days, and company-wide wellness weeks to recharge and maintain work-life balance
