Prudentia Sciences - Forward Deployed Engineer
Requirements
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful time in client-facing, forward deployed, solutions engineering, or technical consulting roles where you shipped code that clients depended on. • 5+ years of software engineering experience, • Strong full-stack or backend engineering skills: Python and SQL as a minimum, comfort with APIs and integrations, and the ability to work across a modern web stack. • Strong full-stack or backend engineering skills: • Hands-on AWS experience: you've deployed and operated production systems on AWS and can reason about security, networking, and cost in client environments. • Practical experience with LLMs and AI applications: retrieval, prompting, extraction, evaluation, and the judgment to know when an AI output is good enough to put in front of a client. • Practical experience with LLMs and AI applications: • Excellent communication with technical and non-technical audiences: you can run a working session with scientists or investors, then explain the tradeoffs to engineers. • Excellent communication with technical and non-technical audiences: • Comfort with ambiguity and ownership: you thrive when the problem isn't fully specified and the client is waiting on you to define it. • Comfort with ambiguity and ownership: • Experience in life sciences, biopharma, healthcare, or financial services, especially with clinical trial, scientific literature, or deal data. • Experience with enterprise integration patterns: SSO/SAML, data room APIs, data pipelines, and security questionnaires. • Experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup where you helped define a function rather than join an established one.

We bring together expert-developed scientific diligence frameworks, AI reasoning trained on drug development, and a unified evidence base to accelerate investment in breakthrough therapies. As a trusted third party operating between buyer and seller, we help build conviction through every stage of the deal, faster. We replace fragmented workflows with a single system that surfaces what matters earlier. • Backed by GV (Google Ventures), McKesson, Iaso Ventures, Virtue, and SignalFire — and built by people who have sat on every side of the table in life sciences dealmaking — we're on a mission to bring expert scientific judgment to every deal decision, at AI scale. • Forward deployed work at Prudentia sits where several demanding worlds meet: • Sophisticated, high-stakes users: BD leaders, portfolio strategists, scientists, and investors who know the domain cold and will spot a wrong number immediately. Trust is earned one answer at a time. • Sophisticated, high-stakes users: • Messy enterprise reality: client data in internal systems, data rooms, spreadsheets, and licensed databases; SSO and security reviews; IT teams with their own timelines and constraints. • Messy enterprise reality: • AI that has to be right: applying LLMs and retrieval to clinical trial data, scientific literature, deal history, and multi-language sources, where hallucination isn't a quirk but a credibility risk. • AI that has to be right: • A product still taking shape: every engagement is a chance to decide whether something should be a one-off configuration, a reusable pattern, or a core platform feature. You'll help make that call. • A product still taking shape: • You'll need to be as comfortable in a client steering meeting as you are in a pull request, and able to switch between them in the same afternoon. • What You'll Own • What You'll Own • Client Deployment & Integration • Lead the technical side of client onboarding and deployment, from discovery and scoping through go-live and expansion. • Integrate Prudentia with client systems and data: internal databases, data rooms, document repositories, licensed datasets, and identity providers, working within their security and compliance requirements. • Build client-specific workflows, configurations, models, and extensions on top of our AWS-based platform, written to production standards rather than as throwaway scripts. • Applied AI & Data in the Field • Partner with the data team on onboarding new client and third-party data sources, and on the provenance and quality standards that let clients trust the results. • Build evaluations and guardrails for client use cases so that quality is measured, not assumed. • Product Feedback Loop • Be the field's voice in engineering and product: bring back patterns, gaps, and requests with enough technical depth that they can be acted on. • Turn repeated one-off solutions into reusable components, templates, and platform features, contributing directly to the core codebase. • Help decide what should be productized, what should stay configurable, and what we should say no to. • Trusted Technical Advisor • Act as the technical point of contact for your accounts, from day-to-day users through to executive sponsors. • Support the commercial team in pre-sales technical discovery, pilots, and proofs of value with strategic prospects. • Help build the forward deployed playbook, and help shape the team as it grows. • Impact: Your work directly enables breakthrough therapies to reach patients faster • Impact: • Ownership: Build and lead the platform as a foundational engineering leader • Ownership: • Growth: Shape our product experience during a critical scaling phase • Growth: • Compensation: Competitive salary and equity • Team: Collaborative, mission-driven colleagues passionate about transforming biopharma • Team: • Location • Location • We are strongly prioritizing candidates based in London (UK), Dublin (Ireland), or Basel (Switzerland) to support our EU-based clients. If we find truly exceptional talent in the US, we may consider fully remote in Eastern Time Zone in the United States.
