Why this is worth applying to
Only consider if you already have strong production AI/ML or data engineering experience, ideally with PBM or healthcare claims data; clinicians without that technical base should not treat this as an entry point.
Who should apply
Clinician-engineers and informaticists with production ML/GenAI and data pipeline experience; pharmacists with PBM/RxMax domain expertise plus hands-on Azure/Databricks/Spark skills; physician data scientists with MLOps and governed healthcare data experience.
CV angle
Reframe real healthcare experience around measurable data/AI delivery: pharmacy claims/rebate/pricing domain knowledge, production ML/GenAI evaluation, MLOps, secure healthcare data pipelines, data governance, and cross-functional delivery. Do not claim engineering scope you did not own; instead show projects where you translated clinical or PBM requirements into governed data or AI solutions.
Skills to highlight
- AI/ML and Generative AI solution delivery
- Retrieval-augmented generation and AI agents
- MLOps, model evaluation, monitoring, and release controls
- Data engineering with Azure, Databricks, Spark/PySpark, SQL, and Delta Lake
- PBM, pharmacy claims, rebates, and pricing domain knowledge
- Data governance, lineage, security, and auditability
- CI/CD, DevSecOps, and automated testing
Role summary
Lead engineering role building enterprise AI/ML, GenAI, and data platforms for a pharmacy benefits PBM modernization, including RAG, AI agents, MLOps, scalable data pipelines, governance, and secure healthcare data products.
