Senior Software Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Software Engineer

• Work model: 100% Remote

• Contract length: 12+ Months

Description

USP is building AI agents that transform curated pharmaceutical supply chain data into analyst-ready outputs such as drug case study decks, account email drafts, and interactive data lookups. The engineer will make the tools reliable, secure, and self-service by owning the full path from the data layer to the browser, including backend, web app, hosting, sign-on, and monitoring. You will lead architecture and safety work across module boundaries, multi-user hosting, and agent evaluation with guardrails and prompt-injection defenses.

Responsibilities

• Design module boundaries and contracts across several teams’ code

• Set the front-end architecture and decide whether to migrate frameworks

• Design multi-user hosting architecture for scaling, isolation, high availability, and cost

• Design evaluation, guardrails, and prompt-injection defenses for agentic systems

• Perform threat modeling, lead security reviews, and design for auditability

• Own the platform roadmap, mentor others, and set engineering standards

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of experience, including technical lead or architect work

• Performance tuning of Spark on large datasets; data contract design

• Pharmaceutical, life sciences, or supply chain domain experience (e.g., NDCs, API manufacturers, drug shortages)

• Experience in regulated environments: audit trails, validation, change control (e.g., 21 CFR Part 11 awareness)

• Headless browser automation (Playwright) and document generation (HTML-to-PDF, PPTX)

• Ansible and Bitbucket Pipelines or Jenkins; Nginx

• Kedro (or similar) data pipeline frameworks; MLflow

• Agent orchestration patterns (tool calling, bounded loops, LLM-as-judge review)
