If you have a passion for challenges and the opportunities that lay within them, youll thrive as part of the Amgen team. Join us and transform the lives of patients while transforming your career.
Lets do this. Lets change the world. In this vital role you will lead efforts to develop and integrate modern data infrastructure, analytics platforms, and visualization capabilitiestosupport New Approach Methodologies(NAMs) and broader translational safety initiatives across the organization. This role sits at the intersection ofdiscovery biology,nonclinical safety,NAMs,and translational medicine, requiring strong technicalexpertisecombined with scientific curiosity andthe ability to collaborate cross-functionally. You will partner closely with scientistsacross Amgenand data engineering groups todevelop ascalable, connected, and insight-driven data ecosystemsfor NAMs, upon which AI/ML can be applied,thatwillaccelerate decision-making across
Amgen Research.
Although this position sits within TSRS, the position will have a Research-wide reach.
- Design, develop, andmaintainscalable data infrastructure and visualization solutions supporting NAMs initiative sand other TSRS workflows
- Develop and implement databasesand registries using tools such as Databricks
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners, including scientific, data engineering, IT, and AI/ML teamsto harmonize and standardize data structures across nonclinical and clinical safety domains
- Define metadata standards and ontology mappings for model systems, assays, samples, readouts, validation status, and context of use
- Support data governance, data quality, and reproducibility best practices across TSRS platforms
- Conceptualize, design, and build interactive dashboardsandvisualizationsusing platforms such as Spotfireto enableAI-supported anddata-driven decision-making
- Translate complex scientific and technical concepts into clear visualizations and actionable insights for diverse stakeholders
- Develop pipelines and workflows tointegrateNAMs dataand other internal data with enterprise datasets,such as clinical data, via AI/ML
- Apply AI/ML approaches to support translational safety analyses, predictive modeling, and emerging NAMs applications
