Will you be next?

We are looking for a Claude Code Architect — a rare blend of AI engineering depth and pharma commercial domain expertise. In this role you will design, build, and govern a fleet of autonomous agents built on Anthropic's Claude Code SDK. These agents will be the backbone of next-generation Commercial Data Platform, automating complex workflows across data ingestion, transformation, insight generation, CRM integration, and commercial analytics for pharmaceutical clients.

You will set the architectural blueprint for agent-based development, define prompt engineering standards, build reusable agentic toolchains, and mentor a team of engineers in Claude Code best practices. This is a senior individual contributor / tech lead role with a direct impact on product strategy.

1. Agent Architecture & Design

• Architect end-to-end multi-agent systems using the Claude Code SDK and Anthropic API, covering orchestration, tool use, memory management, and inter-agent communication.
• Define the agent topology for the commercial data platform: data ingestion agents, transformation agents, validation agents, insight narration agents, and CRM-sync agents.
• Design agent workflows for pharma commercial use cases including sales force automation, territory management, incentive compensation calculation, marketing attribution, and patient journey analytics.
• Build and maintain MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and custom tool integrations for pharma data sources (IQVIA, Symphony Health, CRM systems, data lakes).
• Establish prompt engineering standards, system prompt libraries, and agent persona guidelines for commercial pharma contexts.

2. Claude Code Development & Engineering

• Lead hands-on development using Claude Code CLI, including slash commands, hooks, and custom extensions.
• Build agentic pipelines that orchestrate Claude Code agents to perform autonomous ETL, data quality checks, anomaly detection, and report generation on pharma commercial datasets.
• Develop reusable Claude Code plugins and skill packs tailored to pharma commercial workflows.
• Implement agent evaluation frameworks: define metrics, run evals, and continuously improve agent performance and reliability.
• Integrate Claude-powered agents with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and pharma data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift).

3. Commercial Data Platform Development

• Drive the architecture of AI-native commercial data platform, ensuring it is modular, scalable, and agent-ready.
• Collaborate with product and data teams to translate pharma commercial business requirements into agentic workflows.
• Ensure data governance, compliance (HIPAA, GDPR), and security standards are embedded into all agent-driven data pipelines.
• Build real-time and batch agent workflows for processing specialty pharmacy data, prescription data, sales performance metrics, and HCP/HCO engagement data.
• Design agent-assisted self-service analytics capabilities for commercial operations teams at pharma clients.

4. Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Define and enforce Claude Code development best practices, coding standards, and review processes for the engineering team.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on agentic AI patterns, prompt engineering, and pharma commercial data concepts.
• Act as the internal subject matter expert on Claude Code, Anthropic APIs, and agentic system design.
• Collaborate with Anthropic's ecosystem to stay current with Claude model updates, new SDK features, and best practices.
• Lead architectural reviews, design documentation, and technical roadmap planning for the AI agent platform.

5. Client Engagement & Pre-Sales Support

• Participate in client-facing discussions to explain agent-based platform capabilities to pharma commercial stakeholders.
• Contribute to RFP responses, solution design documents, and POC development for prospective pharma clients.
• Collaborate with client success teams to tailor agent deployments to specific commercial model configurations (specialty, rare disease, primary care, oncology).

Claude Code & Anthropic Ecosystem (Must-Have)

• Deep, demonstrable expertise with Claude Code CLI — including slash commands, hooks, settings configuration, and IDE integrations.
• Hands-on experience building agents using the Anthropic Claude Agent SDK and Anthropic API (tool use, multi-turn, computer use).
• Strong understanding of Model Context Protocol (MCP) — both consuming MCP servers and building custom MCP server integrations.
• Experience with Claude model selection strategy (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) for different agentic task profiles.
• Proficiency in prompt engineering: system prompts, few-shot examples, chain-of-thought, XML-structured outputs, and agent personas.
• Familiarity with Claude Code plugin architecture, skill creation, and agentic workflow orchestration.

Software Engineering

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with strong proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript.
• Experience building production-grade agentic or LLM-powered applications with robust error handling, retries, and observability.
• Proficiency with cloud platforms: AWS (Lambda, S3, Glue, SageMaker), Azure, or GCP.
• Strong background in data engineering: ETL/ELT pipelines, data modeling, SQL, and data warehouse technologies (Snowflake, Databricks preferred).
• Experience with REST APIs, GraphQL, and enterprise system integrations (CRM, ERP, data marketplaces).
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for deploying agent workloads.

• 4+ years of experience working in or with pharmaceutical commercial operations, life sciences data, or healthcare analytics.
• Familiarity with pharma commercial data types: prescription data (TRx/NRx), specialty pharmacy data, HCP/HCO master data, sales force sizing, territory alignment, and incentive compensation.
• Understanding of pharma commercial processes: launch readiness, market access, brand planning, CRM (Veeva CRM / Salesforce Health Cloud), and field force effectiveness.
• Knowledge of compliance considerations in pharma data: HIPAA, Sunshine Act, sampling compliance, and data de-identification.
• Exposure to specialty therapy areas (oncology, immunology, rare disease, CNS) and their unique commercial data characteristics.
• Experience building analytics products for commercial pharma clients: dashboards, KPI engines, field reporting, and call plan optimization.

• Systems Thinker: Ability to design complex, interconnected agent systems with a clear mental model of failure modes and recovery paths.
• Builder Mindset: Comfortable working in ambiguity, defining standards from scratch, and iterating rapidly toward production quality.
• Communication: Can articulate complex agentic AI concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical pharma stakeholders.
• Ownership: Takes end-to-end accountability for agent platform quality, reliability, and business impact.
• Collaboration: Works effectively across data science, product, client success, and engineering teams in a globally distributed organization.
• Continuous Learning: Actively follows Anthropic release notes, agentic AI research, and pharma commercial industry trends.
