Senior Software Engineer, TuneLab

Responsibilities

• Build the product
• Own product surfaces end-to-end-frontend, backend, data, integrations-whatever the problem requires. You don't hand off; you ship.
• Build the application layer that wraps Lilly's AI models into reliable, cohesive workflows for biotech customers.
• Drive features end-to-end. Take a fuzzy requirement, weigh the tradeoffs, and ship something that works.
• Stay deep in the code. This is a build role, not a review role.
• Contribute to the engineering bar-code review, testing, release process, on-call. Hold the standards we set.
• Lift the team
• Mentor the engineers around you. Make them better at the job, not just better at this codebase.
• Partner with PM and design on features. Speak up early when something feels off in the spec or the scope.
• Help interview engineers as the team grows. Hold the bar.
• Spot the things nobody owns and either pick them up or flag them clearly.
• Operate effectively inside a large company
• Navigate enterprise infrastructure, security, and compliance requirements without disrupting development progress.
• Work with Lilly IT and internal platform teams to leverage existing capabilities rather than rebuild them.
• Join customer conversations when it helps. You can hold your own technically with a counterpart on the other side.
• Minimum Requirements
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping software that real customers used and relied on.
• Experience as a senior engineer on a product team-ideally a small one.
• Qualified applicants must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. Lilly will not provide support for or sponsor work authorization or visas for this role, including but not limited to F-1 CPT, F-1 OPT, F-1 STEM OPT, J-1, H-1B, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, or L-1
• Additional Skills/Preferences
• Technical depth
• Strong full-stack fundamentals. You're comfortable owning a feature from database schema to UI and have an opinion about each layer.
• Solid API design and integration experience. You know how

Additional Information

At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees around the world work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first. We're looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world. Organization Overview Lilly Catalyze360 is a comprehensive approach to enabling the early-stage biotech ecosystem by democratizing access to infrastructure, expertise, and resources. Through its interconnected pillars-Lilly Ventures, Lilly Gateway Labs, Lilly ExploR&D, and Lilly TuneLab-Catalyze360 strategically removes barriers that traditionally block bold science from becoming life-changing medicines, providing biotechs with flexible combinations of capital, physical lab space, R&D capabilities, AI/ML tools, and decades of enterprise learning. Lilly TuneLab is an artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) platform that provides biotech companies access to drug discovery models trained on years of Lilly's research data. Lilly estimates that this first release of AI models includes proprietary data obtained at a cost of over $1 billion, representing one of the industry's most valuable datasets used to train an AI system available to biotechnology companies. By integrating advanced in silico modelling and federated learning, we connect pioneering machine learning algorithms, substantial computational power, exclusive datasets, and Lilly's domain-specific knowledge to drive innovation in drug discovery and facilitate access to optimal therapies for patients. Job Summary TuneLab has powerful underlying AI models and point solutions. The job now is to turn them into something a biotech startup can actually use: a coherent workflow, a clean product experience, and a SaaS offering that scales. You won't start from zero. There are working point solutions, trained models, and internal infrastructure to build on. Federated learning is a meaningful part of the work - letting biotech customers use & train Lilly's models without their data leaving their environment. Plenty else is yours to create from scratch. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to be one of the early engineers on this team. You'll own meaningful product surfaces end-to-end, ship features that customers depend on, and raise the bar on what we build. You'll partner closely with a Staff Software Engineer and the Engineering Manager. You'll have real influence on architecture and the engineering bar. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with product, design, and data science, and report to the TuneLab Engineering Manager.
