• You serve as a senior technical advisor to platform owners, programming and statistical leadership, and governance teams on complex topics involving infrastructure, automation, and scientific computing

• You guide technical vision, architectural decisions, and resource planning for high-impact tooling and infrastructure projects across DSX

• You resolve complex, system-level challenges across disciplines by applying deep scientific computing expertise and systems thinking

• You influence internal policy and development standards, and drive adoption of best practices that scale across teams, functions, and geographies

• You communicate complex technical ideas clearly to senior-level stakeholders and shape decisions on investment, tooling strategy, and portfolio priorities

• You foster a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and innovation through mentorship, internal community building, and knowledge sharing

Who you are:

• You hold a PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Bioinformatics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field

• You have a minimum of 10 years of experience in data science, statistical computing, or platform development, with a demonstrated track record of impact at organizational or cross-functional levels

• You are a recognized expert in building and scaling scientific or statistical software systems, with deep understanding of clinical research environments and regulatory implications

• You bring expertise in multiple programming environments (e.g., Python, R) and development practices for reproducible, compliant, and high-performance computing

• You have demonstrated leadership of major programs or cross-functional initiatives with technical complexity and strategic significance

• You demonstrate capacity for independent thinking and ability to make decisions based upon sound principles

• You bring excellent strategic agility including problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and agility that extends beyond the technical domain

• You demonstrate respect for cultural differences when interacting with colleagues in the global workplace

• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to influence senior stakeholders and explain technical strategy with clarity and confidence

• You have proven experience leading global, cross-functional projects or workstreams, demonstrating effective coordination across time zones and diverse stakeholder groups

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience shaping the architecture and long-term roadmap of enterprise-scale data science platforms or statistical computing environments

• Demonstrated ability to influence regulatory and quality frameworks in the context of digital and analytical tools

• Strategic understanding of healthcare data ecosystems, including real-world data, translational pipelines, and high-dimensional data integration

• Proven ability to drive tool adoption and cultural change through technical leadership, stakeholder engagement, and thoughtful design

• Engagement with external scientific or developer communities (e.g., open-source contributions, industry consortia, conference presentations)

• Experience guiding investment and resource decisions for high-impact tooling or analytics initiatives

• Ability to synthesize organizational priorities and translate them into impactful, technically sound solutions at scale
