• Hands‑on experience with or strong interest in GenAI/LLM technologies, e.g., integrating LLM‑based services via APIs, agent and tool‑calling patterns (e.g., MCP), retrieval‑augmented generation, and operating such solutions in enterprise environments (CI/CD, containerization, monitoring)
• Nice-to-have: Knowledge of clinical trial supply processes and systems (e.g., MES, IRT, packaging & labeling, depot and distribution) and of pharmaceutical development/CMC
• A motivated team player with a global mindset who is passionate about innovative IT solutions and works both independently and collaboratively
