Description

eClinical Solutions is a global leader in clinical data intelligence, delivering the elluminate® Clinical Data Cloud® — an AI-powered platform driving agentic data review, SDTM automation, and RBQM for 18 of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies worldwide.

As part of our eNOVA AI-First transformation, we are embedding AI across every pillar of clinical development and enterprise operations — compressing cycle times, improving data quality, and redefining how work gets done.

As we scale our AI capabilities, we are building a high-impact, hands-on AI engineering function focused on delivering real, production-grade automation across the enterprise.

You will make an impact:

The Principal AI Engineer – Automation & AI is a hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, building, and deploying AI-powered automation solutions across eClinical Solutions.

This role is builder-first (70–80% hands-on development) and operates within a small, high-output team (2–4 engineers). You will work directly with the CTAO and business leaders to identify high-value use cases and rapidly translate them into working AI systems in production.

This is not a program management or oversight role. You are expected to build, ship, and iterate continuously, leveraging modern AI tooling and agentic frameworks to deliver measurable impact.
