Job Description
Job Title: Digital R&D Staff Software EngineerLocation: Hyderabad (Hybrid)
Your Impact As a Staff Software Engineer you will:
You will work at the forefront of applied AI building multi-agent architectures, LLM-powered workflows, and intelligent automation pipelines that directly support Sanofi's mission to bring life-saving therapies to patients faster. This includes hands-on experience with platforms such as AWS Bedrock and AWS AgentCore for scalable agent deployment, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) for standardized tool and data source integration. This is a high-impact role for an engineer who is passionate about autonomous AI systems and wants to apply them in a meaningful, regulated, and scientifically rigorous environment.
Key Responsibilities Agentic AI Design & Development - Design, build, and deploy autonomous AI agent systems capable of multi-step reasoning, planning, and task execution across R&D workflows
- Develop multi-agent architectures where specialized agents collaborate, delegate, and coordinate to solve complex pharmaceutical problems
- Implement tool-using agents that interact with APIs, databases, internal systems, and external data sources
- Build feedback loops and self-correction mechanisms to improve agent reliability and accuracy over time
- Leverage AWS AgentCore for agent lifecycle management, memory persistence, and tool integration deploying and managing agents at scale in a governed, enterprise environment
- Design and implement MCP (Model Context Protocol)-based agent architectures, building MCP servers and clients to standardize how agents interact with external tools, data sources, and Sanofi's internal services
- Develop and fine-tune LLM-based applications using frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar
- Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to ground agents in Sanofi's proprietary scientific and operational knowledge
- Engineer prompt engineering strategies, chain-of-thought reasoning, and structured output parsing for production-grade reliability
- Evaluate and benchmark LLM performance across models (GPT-4, Claude, Mistral, Llama, etc.) for specific pharmaceutical use cases
- Build and deploy agentic solutions using AWS Bedrock Agents and Bedrock Knowledge Bases, leveraging foundation models available on Bedrock (e.g., Claude, Titan, Llama) for scalable, managed generative AI workloads
- Write clean, maintainable, production-ready Python code following software engineering best practices (SOLID principles, design patterns, code reviews)
- Build RESTful and event-driven APIs to expose agent capabilities to downstream applications and users
- Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (unit, integration, regression), and monitoring for AI systems
- Ensure observability of agent behavior through logging, tracing, and evaluation frameworks (e.g., LangSmith, Arize, Weights & Biases)
- Integrate agentic solutions with Sanofi's existing digital ecosystem including data platforms, clinical systems, ERP, and knowledge management tools
- Connect agents to vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Chroma) for semantic search and memory management
- Work with cloud-native services ( AWS) to deploy scalable, secure, and compliant AI workloads including AWS Bedrock managed AI services for foundation model access and agent orchestration
- Integrate MCP-compatible tools into agent workflows, enabling standardized, interoperable connections between AI models and external data sources, APIs, and enterprise systems
- Collaborate with data engineers to ensure agents have access to high-quality, governed data pipelines
- Partner with product managers, data scientists, and domain experts (biologists, clinicians, regulatory specialists) to translate scientific needs into agentic AI solutions
- Participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives, demos) and contribute to team velocity
- Contribute to technical documentation, architecture decision records (ADRs), and internal knowledge sharing
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the team's AI engineering standards and best practices
- Experience: 12+ years of experience (or equivalent knowledge). If you feel qualified, apply regardless of years of experience!
- Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or equivalent experience is a plus.
- Soft Skills: Experience in an innovative, fast-paced environment.

- Assumes responsibility for the success of projects, including meeting deadlines and quality standards.
- Takes ownership of technical decisions and leads efforts to overcome obstacles. Accountable for the overall performance and efficiency of engineering solutions.
- Actively participates in the design, development, and testing of critical components.
- Experience working with multiple teams to drive alignment and results. Service-oriented, flexible, and a team player who takes initiative
- Strong problem-solving & critical thinking skills.
- Growth mindset with enthusiasm for learning new technologies and approaches
- Innovation-focused with a willingness to experiment and introduce improved ways of working
- Collaborative leadership that encourages open dialogue where team members feel safe to share ideas and learn from mistakes
