Description
Veeva Systems is a mission-driven organization and pioneer in industry cloud, helping life sciences companies bring therapies to patients faster. As one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history, we surpassed $2B in revenue in our last fiscal year with extensive growth potential ahead.

At the heart of Veeva are our values: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed. We're not just any public company – we made history in 2021 by becoming a public benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.

As a Work Anywhere company, we support your flexibility to work from home or in the office, so you can thrive in your ideal environment.

Join us in transforming the life sciences industry, committed to making a positive impact on its customers, employees, and communities.

The Role

We are an AI team supporting the entire suite of link data products (e.g., Link Key People). Agility and quality are our operating principles in developing cutting-edge ML models. Our ML models are trained by data captured by a massive group of over 2000 subject-matter experts. ML models complement the curational pipeline and scale our solutions to different regions, languages, and therapeutic areas. Ultimately, we accelerate clinical trials and equitable care. We are proud that our work helps patients to get their most urgent care sooner. 

Your role will primarily involve developing LLM-based agents that are specialized in searching and browsing the web and extracting detailed information about Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in the healthcare sector. You will craft an end-to-end human-in-the-loop pipeline to sift through a large array of unstructured medical documents—ranging from academic articles to clinical guidelines and meeting notes from therapeutic committees. These agents will be equipped to perform semantic searches and reasoning in order to provide precise answers to predefined queries concerning KOL-related data across various languages and disciplines. Leveraging AWS infrastructure, you will build, scale, and optimize agents and pipelines for information extraction and question-answering, ensuring they are production-ready and robust. Your focus will be on building highly scalable, efficient systems while collaborating with Data Engineers for seamless data pipelines and Data Scientists for model refinement. You will take ownership of the entire deployment process, ensuring the models are integrated into production environments with minimal latency and high performance.

We invite you to work remotely from any area within the UK, Spain, or Portugal. However, it's a prerequisite that you already reside in this country and hold legal work authorization without needing an employer's support.

If you plan to move to this country or live nearby, we may still consider your application if you're a superb fit for the role. In such scenarios, kindly supply an extra document that outlines your impending or current location, visa status, and the reasons that make you an excellent fit.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and manage ML infrastructures and CI/CD pipelines to support multiple data products
  • Build fully automated, scalable, cost-effective, and fault-tolerant solutions in AWS to process billions of records
  • Provide engineering mentorship and guidance to data scientists
  • Develop LLM-based agents capable of performing function calls and utilizing tools such as browsers for enhanced data interaction and retrieval
  • Experience with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) methods such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for training LLMs based on human preferences
  • Collaborate with data scientists, data engineers, and product/operation teams

Requirements

  • Agile mindset
  • Professional in ML operationalization, including CI/CD pipelines and workflow/model management, stacks such as Airflow and MLfLow
  • Professional in distributed computing platforms (Ray and Spark) as well as Kubernetes for inference 
  • Solid understanding and experience in deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX,...)
  • Hands-on experience in in-house training and inference of LLMs
  • 3+ years of experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or relevant jobs
  • 2+ years of experience in cloud development, ideally in AWS
  • Strong analytical skills and data curiosity
  • Strong collaboration skills as well as verbal and written communication skills
  • Used to start-up environments
  • Social competence and a team player
  • High energy and ambitious

Nice to Have

  • Experience in the life/health science industry, notably pharma
  • Strong theoretical knowledge of Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, or Reinforcement Learning
  • Experience with NoSQL databases
  • Familiarity with architectural choices, particularly for ML systems
  • Leadership skills and a solid network to help in hiring and growing the team

Perks & Benefits

  • Work anywhere
  • Personal development budget (equal to 2% of your salary and in addition to that)
  • Veeva charitable giving program
  • Fitness reimbursement

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
