About the Role
Seeking a Computational Scientist II to join Genentech's Developmental Sciences organization and advance AI-driven drug development. This role involves designing, developing, and deploying LLM-powered agentic workflows to automate scientific processes within Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and deploy LLM-based agentic AI workflows to automate scientific and pharmacometric processes.
- Build RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, human-in-the-loop AI systems, and reusable LLM components.
- Develop evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and quality control processes for LLM outputs.
- Collaborate with pharmacometricians, clinical pharmacologists, data scientists, and software engineers to translate scientific requirements into AI solutions.
- Integrate scientific guidelines, templates, and reference documents into AI workflows.
- Develop production-ready software following best engineering practices, including Git, documentation, code reviews, and testing.
- Support deployment of AI applications on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Present technical solutions, documentation, and best practices to cross-functional stakeholders.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of experience, or Master's/PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related quantitative field.
- Experience developing LLM applications, Agentic AI systems, or Generative AI solutions.
- Strong programming experience with Python and software engineering best practices.
- Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, RAG architectures, vector databases, and LLM APIs.
- Knowledge of Git, CI/CD, code reviews, testing, and documentation.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, computational biology, pharmacometrics, or drug discovery.
- Experience developing AI solutions for scientific or regulated environments.
