You will be responsible for designing, developing, and deploying machine learning models at scale within the Palantir Foundry ecosystem, enabling data-driven decision-making across R&D, commercial, and real-world evidence use cases.
You will collaborate closely with data scientists, MLOps engineers, and data engineers to build robust, production-grade ML workflows—from data preparation and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable ML models for use in predictive analytics, forecasting, and classification tasks within the pharmaceutical domain.
- Work with Palantir Foundry to build end-to-end ML pipelines, including custom Python code, Foundry Functions, and Ontology-aware feature generation.
- Collaborate with Data Engineers to ensure high-quality, model-ready data flows from ingestion to inference.
- Operationalize models using industry best practices for versioning, reproducibility, and monitoring (e.g., via MLflow or native Foundry tools).
- Contribute to MLOps automation, including CI/CD for ML, drift detection, retraining pipelines, and evaluation dashboards.
- Partner with business stakeholders and domain experts to translate scientific or commercial hypotheses into model-based solutions.
- Apply rigorous experimentation and statistical validation to ensure models are explainable, generalizable, and regulatory-compliant.
- Stay informed on the latest developments in ML/AI and proactively introduce innovative techniques and frameworks.
Must-Have Skills & Experience
- 5+ years of experience in machine learning or applied data science, ideally in a production or enterprise setting.
- Strong programming skills in Python, with deep experience in machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
- Experience designing and deploying ML workflows at scale, preferably with experience in Foundry, KubeFlow, SageMaker, or similar platforms.
- Familiarity with feature engineering, data imputation, sampling strategies, and evaluation techniques
- Hands-on experience with model deployment and monitoring, including logging metrics, detecting drift, and managing model lifecycles.
- Comfort working with structured and unstructured data: tabular, time series, text, etc.
- Solid understanding of data security, privacy, and compliance, particularly in pharma or regulated domains.
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills; capable of explaining complex models in simple terms.
- Upper-Intermediate or Advanced level of English is required.
