  Amgen is on a mission to unlock the potential of biology for patients suffering from serious illnesses by discovering, developing, manufacturing, and delivering innovative human therapeutics. The Amgen R&D organization supports this mission by discovering, developing, and delivering transformative medicines that address the leading causes of death and disability. The work we do in R&D is guided by three strategic imperatives: Make focused investment in innovative research platforms; Innovate in Clinical Development; and Address access and use at all stages of drug development. The R&D AI Strategy & Execution (RAISE) team was recently established to accelerate R&D by harnessing AI and emerging digital technologies. The Data Science & Engineering (DS&E) team in RAISE is multidisciplinary group tasked with developing and deploying AI capabilities to accelerate execution of R&D strategic imperatives, which span discovery, development, patient safety, regulatory affairs, and other medical affairs.

In addition to general supervised and unsupervised ML, subareas of interest include natural language processing, image processing, audio processing, and generative AI.

  Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will:

  • Collaborate with other ML engineers, data scientists and research scientists to identify appropriate ML models and algorithms, fuel innovation and create initiatives by bringing to bear an understanding of biopharmaceutical, healthcare, and technology ecosystems.

  • Facilitate ML & Data engineering efforts by architecting and guiding the implementation of data and ML pipelines for development and deployment.

  • Facilitate model deployment to production and establish MLOps practices, including monitoring and maintenance of ML models.
