Job description

We are seeking a Senior Manager, Full Stack Software Engineer, to serve as a technical leader in an AI first, agile product environment supporting Global Regulatory Sciences (GRS) technologies.

  • Remain sufficiently hands-on- to design, build, review, and troubleshoot critical components.

Technical Strategy, Architecture & Roadmap:

  • Develop and maintain an AI-first- Regulatory technology roadmap, guiding build vs. buy decisions, model selection, and platform capabilities aligned to business outcomes.
  • Define and enforce reference architectures, reusable patterns, and technical guardrails to ensure consistency and quality across products.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and delivery models (SaaS / PaaS / IaaS) and influence vendor roadmaps and negotiations to align with enterprise strategy.

Engineering Execution & Operations:

  • Design, develop, and operate scalable, secure full stack solutions using Python, Java / Node.js, React, REST APIs, and modern cloud-native architectures.
  • Design and operate Large Language Model LLM native and agentic systems as long-lived products, incorporating human- in- the-loop, monitoring, governance, and continuous improvement.
  • Build and maintain ML and data pipelines for training, validation, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and rollback.
  • Implement CI/CD practices and automate workflows across data ingestion, feature engineering, model versioning, and deployment.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues, balancing short-term remediation with long-term- architectural strategy.

Product, Stakeholder & Vendor Partnership:

  • Partner closely with IT Product Managers and GRS stakeholders to plan, prioritize, deliver, and support strategic digital capabilities.
  • Translate business needs into well designed technical solutions that drive measurable impact in regulatory and operational workflows.
  • Operate effectively in a highly matrixed organization, aligning stakeholders with differing priorities.

Financial & Operational Stewardship:

  • Manage and optimize Total Cost of Ownership (build and run) for technology assets, understanding and influencing key cost drivers.
  • Ensure solutions are cost efficient-, scalable, and sustainable over time., BMS has an occupancy structure that determines where an employee is required to conduct their work.
