As a Senior Data Scientist within Bristol Myers Squibb's AI Venture Studio delivery team, you will be a hands-on senior individual contributor who helps convert ambiguous scientific and business opportunities into measurable AI product hypotheses, experiments, and working solutions. You will partner with AI Engineers, Data Engineers, App/Cloud Engineers, Frontend Engineers, product owners, and domain experts to build and evaluate AI systems across R&D, Commercialization, Manufacturing, and Enabling Functions.
The role sits at the edge of applied data science and AI engineering: you will design evaluation datasets, build analytical features, prototype models, test agent and retrieval performance, measure product impact, support sandboxed data problem solving, and explain model behavior in ways stakeholders can trust. You will help define the good analytical context agents need to perform reliable work, including query history, column values, explicit instructions, memory, data tools, warehouse context, and curated source meaning.
BMS is an AWS-first engineering environment for these products, and your work will use AWS-aligned data and AI services alongside enterprise-preferred tools such as OpenSearch, Amazon S3 Vectors, Amazon Neptune, PostgreSQL/RDS, LangGraph, LangSmith, and a variety of approved frontier LLM models and APIs. This is a role for someone excited to work hands-on with the latest AI tools and frontier technologies, pushing the limits of what technology can do to help BMS discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines.
