Job description

At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.

Summary:

The Engineer is a fully independent mid-level individual contributor who is trusted to own complex work within their assigned areas. You will operate without guidance on most technical work, act as a subject matter expert within your projects, and contribute meaningfully to improving the team’s engineering capability through coaching and process improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical Delivery

• Lead implementation of complex, loosely scoped problems without guidance; exercise independent judgment on approach, trade-offs, and implementation decisions.

• Write well-tested code and pipeline designs without guidance; provide technical guidance to other engineers on the team.

• Act as a subject matter expert within your assigned projects and areas of work; ensure test coverage and deployment quality are consistently high.

Problem Solving:

• Scope features independently for multi-week efforts; make confident technical decisions and validate assumptions with stakeholders where needed.

• Learn and evaluate new technologies independently; recommend tools and approaches for team adoption.

• Identify and surface technical debt; contribute to prioritization conversations about when and how to address it.

• Debug and resolve issues as an SME; tackle complex or unfamiliar issues with a clear hypothesis and a path to resolution before escalating.

Collaboration & Growth:

• Persuade and negotiate with stakeholders to achieve the right outcomes; articulate complex technical information clearly across audiences.

• Contribute to team direction; understand how broader business and technical priorities shape the work.

• Coach less experienced engineers in tools, practices, and problem-solving approaches within your assigned areas.

• Drive improvements to processes, knowledge, and engineering quality beyond your own assigned work.

Qualifications:

Education:

• BA/BS required (quantitative or engineering discipline preferred); MS a plus.

Experience:

• 2+ years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, ML engineering, or a related field; relevant advanced degrees contribute to required years of experience.

• Track record of independent delivery with evidence of enabling less experienced teammates.

Technical Skills:

• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL; writes clean, well-tested code without guidance and provides guidance to others.

• Solid experience with data pipeline development and ML workflows (feature pipelines, model inputs, data preparation); growing MLOps proficiency.

• Hands-on experience with cloud-native platforms (Databricks preferred; AWS or Azure broadly).

• Independently learns and evaluates new technologies; has recommended tools or approaches for team adoption.

Competencies:

• Fully independent on most technical work; exercises good judgment consistently.

• Actively contributes to team growth through knowledge sharing, coaching, and improving the quality of team execution.

• Communicates clearly and persuasively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proactively identifies problems and improvement opportunities.
