Own the AI backbone of a regulated bioprocess SaaS platform — end to end. Chesham, Buckinghamshire (hybrid — 3 days in office). Biopharm Services builds analytics software used by the biopharma industry to predict manufacturing cost, performance and sustainability in regulated pharma environments. Our 18-year proprietary bioprocess dataset is the moat. We're now moving it into an AI-native SaaS platform — and we need a Senior Python / AI Engineer to own that transition from the inside.
What you’ll own:
- EcoInsight and DataAgent — Python/FastAPI services, LLM orchestration pipelines and data infrastructure, accountable for reliability and security.
- Directing AI agents (Claude Code, Copilot, DevOps MCP) — reviewing and hardening what they produce, not just prompting.
- Observability across LLM features using Langfuse-style tooling so behaviour is explainable and audit‑ready.
- Cross‑stack integration with JS/TypeScript engineers — designing APIs that keep Python and browser services loosely coupled but coherent.
- Contributing to the canonical data model across products — architecture decisions that matter, not just tickets.
In 18 months, success looks like:
- EcoInsight and DataAgent are stable, observable and contractor‑independent.
- 80%+ of new Python work flows through the agentic SDLC with clean QMS‑traceable provenance.
- Small expert team. Real ownership. AI‑native from day one — not as a future aspiration.
Qualifications Core Skills & Requirements
What you’ll bring:
- Production Python (FastAPI, async, CI/CD, structured testing).
- Hands‑on LLM orchestration in production — Azure OpenAI, LangChain or similar.
- Strong SQL and data pipeline skills; SQL Server / SQLite experience a plus.
- Confidence using AI coding tools and owning the output.
- Interest in regulated or quality‑managed environments (GxP, CSV or GAMP familiarity welcome).
