Full Job Description
CSBio and Yowei Therapeutics are seeking a hands-on AI Software Engineer to build internal applications, AI-assisted workflows, data systems, and secure automations supporting clinical, laboratory, manufacturing, and company operations.
Job Duties:
- Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain internal web applications, dashboards, data tools, and workflow systems supporting CSBio and Yowei Therapeutics.
- Develop and improve internal systems used for employee, project, operational, clinical, laboratory, or manufacturing workflows.
- Build AI-assisted features using approved models and services, including document processing, structured extraction, search, retrieval-augmented generation, summarization, classification, and agent-assisted workflows.
- Create evaluation datasets, test cases, guardrails, logging, and human-review workflows to measure AI quality, reliability, security, and failure modes before release.
- Build responsive user interfaces and reliable backend services using technologies such as TypeScript or JavaScript, React or Next.js, Python, SQL, PostgreSQL or Supabase, and REST or event-driven APIs.
- Design database schemas, permissions, role-based access, authentication, audit logging, backups, and secure data flows appropriate to each application.
- Integrate approved internal and external systems, including laboratory, specimen, device, pharmacy, participant, project-management, and collaboration platforms.
- Translate operational problems and user feedback into clear requirements, technical designs, staged releases, and maintainable software rather than one-off prototypes.
- Write automated tests, perform code reviews, manage source control, document defects, and establish practical development, release, rollback, and incident-response procedures.
- Monitor deployed applications, investigate performance or reliability issues, correct defects, and communicate risks and outages clearly to users and leadership.
- Create technical documentation, architecture diagrams, data dictionaries, user guides, setup instructions, and training materials.
- Provide technical guidance, code review, and structured assignments to interns or junior developers while escalating architecture, security, privacy, and regulated-system decisions when needed.
- Evaluate software vendors, AI tools, and technical proposals; document security, data-use, integration, portability, and vendor-exit considerations before adoption.
- Protect company-confidential, participant, clinical, genomic, CMC, manufacturing, and QC information and follow approved data-classification, access, and retention requirements.
Clinical and Regulated Systems Responsibilities:
- Build or configure fit-for-purpose study databases, eCRFs, visit workflows, operational trackers, and clinical dashboards when assigned.
- Implement approved fields, validation rules, edit checks, controlled terminology, role-based access, audit trails, exports, and user workflows based on requirements supplied or approved by qualified clinical and data owners.
- Support testing, user-acceptance testing, defect correction, controlled releases, integrations, data transfers, and sponsor-controlled exports.
- Support clinical and laboratory system integrations without independently making protocol, medical, safety, statistical, regulatory, privacy, or Quality decisions.
- Maintain technical records supporting access control, version history, change management, validation evidence, backups, recovery, and vendor exit as required for the system.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, data science, information systems, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated professional experience.
- 3+ years of experience building, deploying, and maintaining production software applications, internal platforms, data products, or comparable business-critical systems.
- Strong working proficiency with TypeScript or JavaScript, Python, SQL, and modern web-development practices.
- Experience with React, Next.js, or a comparable frontend framework and with PostgreSQL, Supabase, or another relational database platform.
- Experience designing and integrating APIs, authentication, authorization, role-based permissions, data models, and secure application workflows.
- Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs or approved AI models into working applications, with practical attention to testing, evaluation, failure handling, privacy, and human review.
- Experience with Git or GitHub, code review, automated testing, debugging, documentation, deployment, and production support.
- Ability to independently convert loosely defined operational needs into clear requirements and working software while communicating tradeoffs and risks to non-technical teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector search, structured outputs, document extraction, agent workflows, model evaluation, or AI observability.
- Experience with Vercel, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, background jobs, queues, monitoring, logging, secrets management, or infrastructure-as-code.
- Experience building internal tools for biotechnology, pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratories, clinical research, healthcare, or another regulated environment.
- Familiarity with EDC, eCRFs, CTMS, eSource, LIMS, REDCap, laboratory-data systems, or clinical-data integrations.
- Knowledge of GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, audit trails, computer-system validation, data integrity, privacy, or regulated change-control practices.
- Experience mentoring interns or junior developers and establishing practical engineering standards for a small team.
