Data & AI Consultant

Formula5 is a Microsoft, Databricks, and Anthropic partner that solves the hardest data and technology challenges in regulated industries – healthcare, life sciences, financial services, and energy. We don’t chase commoditized work. We hire the best people, give them real ownership, and let them do what they’re great at.

As a Data & AI Consultant at Formula5, you will help clients turn raw data into a strategic asset and AI ambition into working solutions. You will work across the full data and AI stack, from designing scalable data platforms to building and deploying models that solve real business problems in regulated environments. This is not a role for people who hand off work and move on.

You will own engagements end-to-end, stay close to the problem, and deliver solutions that are built to last.

In today’s fast-changing IT landscape, we heavily rely on AI. We use Anthropic, OpenAI, and custom model providers like Azure AI Foundry.

We recognize that core competence today and in the coming years is the ability to meta-problem-synthesize, a mental ability to allow for ‘black box’ coding with parallel strong input and output controls you can design that guarantees solution quality. And maybe most importantly, we expect excellent critical thinking skills. Not being a lazy, passive-aggressive critic in meetings – but the ability to question LLM outputs, look for alternative ways, and explore as an effect.

We use skills, plugins, and MCP on a daily basis. You would be expected to leverage your effectiveness using those but also contribute, co-develop, and author new ones!
