Summary
Synthio Labs is hiring an Applied AI Engineer in Bengaluru to build production-grade LLM, retrieval, agent, and multimodal AI systems for pharmaceutical commercial, medical, and patient workflows. Requires strong Python, 3+ years in AI/ML or software engineering, and prior pharma/life sciences experience.
About the Role
Synthio is looking for an Applied AI Engineer who combines strong AI engineering skills with a deep understanding of life sciences. Prior experience working directly with pharmaceutical companies, pharma teams, or life sciences products is required. You will build AI systems across HCP, patient, medical, and commercial workflows, working on problems where scientific accuracy, reliability, and domain context matter
What You’ll Do
- Build production-grade applications using LLMs, retrieval, agents, structured data, and multimodal AI.
- Design AI workflows across pharmaceutical commercial, medical, and patient use cases.
- Build retrieval and knowledge systems over scientific, medical, and enterprise data.
- Develop evaluation frameworks for accuracy, reliability, safety, and domain-specific failure modes.
- Work with pharma datasets including CRM, claims, sales, HCP, patient, clinical, and scientific data.
- Prototype quickly, evaluate approaches rigorously, and productionize what works.
- Work directly with domain experts and customers to translate complex workflows into technical solutions
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in AI/ML, applied machine learning, or software engineering.
- Strong Python skills and experience building production AI systems.
- Hands-on experience with LLMs, embeddings, retrieval, agentic workflows, or related applied AI systems.
- Prior experience working directly with pharmaceutical companies, pharma teams, or life sciences products.
- Strong fundamentals in experimentation, evaluation, and debugging AI systems.
- Excellent communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- High ownership and comfort solving ambiguous problems.
Why This Role Matters
At Synthio, we build software that directly supports patients, physicians, and pharma teams. This is production software, not prototypes or demos. The systems you build will be used in real workflows, under real constraints, and at real scale. You’ll have meaningful ownership and a clear line of sight from your code to real-world impact.
Strong Plus
- Pharma commercial, medical affairs, patient services, clinical, or market access experience.
- Experience with healthcare datasets, scientific literature, or medical knowledge systems.
- Experience with voice AI, speech systems, or regulated AI deployments
