Are you ready to be part of the future of healthcare? Can you think big, be bold, and harness the power of digital and AI to tackle longstanding life sciences challenges? Then Evinova, a global health tech business might be for you!
Transform patients’ lives through technology, data, and innovative ways of working. You’re disruptive, decisive, and transformative. Someone excited to use technology to improve patients’ health. We’re building a new Health-tech business – Evinova, a fully-owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca Group.
Evinova delivers market-leading digital health solutions that are science-based, evidence-led, and human experience-driven. Thoughtful risks and quick decisions come together to accelerate innovation across the life sciences sector. Be part of a diverse team that pushes the boundaries of science by digitally empowering a deeper understanding of the patients we’re helping. Launch pioneering digital solutions that improve the patients’ experience and deliver better health outcomes. Together, we have the opportunity to combine deep scientific expertise with digital and artificial intelligence to serve the wider healthcare community and create new standards across the sector.
Introduction to Role:
The Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Operations team (ML/AI Ops) is a newly formed team will spearhead the design, creation, and operational excellence of our entire Generative AI, agentic systems, and LLM computational AWS ecosystem to catalyze and accelerate science led innovations.
This team is responsible and accountable for the design, implementation, deployment, health and performance of all algorithms, models, Generative AI operations (GenAI Ops, AIOps, and LLMOps) and Data Science Platform. We manage Generative AI and broader cloud resources, automating operations through infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines, and ensure best-in-class operations – striving to push even beyond mere compliance with industry standards such as Good Clinical Practices and Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP).
As the Generative AI Platform Architect on our team, you will architect and oversee the global cloud ML/AI infrastructure that underpins our entire ML/AI value proposition. You will design, implement, and manage scalable cloud solutions using AWS services while establishing ML/AI governance frameworks, automating infrastructure with tools like AWS CDK and Projen, and conducting cost-benefit analyses of foundation models to drive strategic decisions across the organization.
This position requires a deep understanding of cloud-native Generative AI and LLMOps methodologies, AWS infrastructure, State-of-the-art (SOTA) Foundation Models, prompt engineering pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, and AWS GenAI Services (Bedrock, SageMaker for LLMs), and the unique demands of regulated industries, making it a cornerstone of our success in delivering impactful solutions to the pharmaceutical industry.

Why Evinova?
Evinova is a global health tech business, separate company part of the AstraZeneca group. Together, we can accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines, improve the design and delivery of clinical trials for better patient experiences and outcomes, and think more holistically about patient care before, during, and after treatment. We know that regulators, healthcare professionals, and care teams at clinical trial sites do not want a fragmented approach. They do not want a future where every pharmaceutical company provides its own, different digital solutions. They want solutions that work across the sector, simplify their workload, and benefit patients broadly. By bringing our solutions to the wider life sciences community, we can help build more unified approaches to how we all develop and deploy digital technologies, better serving our teams, physicians, and ultimately patients. Evinova represents a unique opportunity to deliver meaningful outcomes with digital and AI to serve the wider healthcare community and create new standards for the sector. Join us on our journey of building a new kind of health tech business to reset expectations of what a bio-pharmaceutical company can be. This means we’re opening new ways to work, pioneering cutting-edge methods, and bringing unexpected teams together. Interested? Come and join our journey.
