Forward Deployed Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in engineering, particularly in deploying AI systems within regulated environments — your experience includes working with life sciences organizations and understanding their unique challenges. You excel at translating complex scientific data into actionable insights and production-ready systems, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

You possess excellent communication skills, enabling you to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including Product, Research, and Security. Your ability to engage with customers who are experts in their fields allows you to bridge the gap between technical solutions and real-world applications.

You are familiar with the R&D value chain in life sciences, including drug discovery and development processes — your knowledge extends to areas such as trial design and biostatistics, which helps you understand the context in which your solutions will be applied.

You thrive in hybrid work environments, balancing in-office collaboration with remote flexibility. Your adaptability allows you to manage travel requirements effectively, ensuring that you can meet with clients and stakeholders as needed.

What you'll do

In this role, you will lead the deployment of AI models within life sciences organizations, focusing on drug discovery and development. You will work closely with customers to understand their specific needs and constraints, translating these into production systems that deliver measurable impact.

You will design and implement evaluation benchmarks and acceptance criteria that inform product and model roadmaps, ensuring that deployments are successful and scalable. Your role will involve measuring success through production adoption and workflow impact, providing feedback loops that enhance future iterations of the models.

Collaboration is key in this position — you will partner with various teams, including Product and Research, to ensure that your deployments align with the overall goals of OpenAI. You will also engage with regulatory compliance teams to maintain inspection readiness and create audit trails for deployed systems.

Your responsibilities will include conducting thorough assessments of customer environments, identifying opportunities for AI integration, and leading the technical aspects of deployment projects. You will also be responsible for training and supporting customer teams to ensure they can effectively utilize the systems you help implement.
