Applied AI Engineer, Beneficial Deployments

About the role

The Applied AI Engineer will join the Beneficial Deployments team to support nonprofits, research institutes, and public-sector funders in using Claude for clinical trials and drug repurposing. This partner-facing role involves embedding within external teams to build tools that accelerate treatments for rare and neglected diseases. You will bridge the gap between advanced AI capabilities and real-world biomedical applications.

Responsibilities

• Work with partners' trial teams to design, review and prioritise clinical trials with Claude: drafting and reviewing protocols and statistical analysis plans, and flagging enrolment and operational risks.
• Build and validate tools that help partners find new uses for approved, mostly off-patent medicines in rare and neglected diseases, from literature, omics and patient data, and assemble the evidence so the partner can decide the next step.
• Build reusable infrastructure other institutions can adopt (MCP servers for biomedical data sources, agent skills, benchmarks grounded in real clinical questions), and feed what you learn in the field back to product, engineering and research.
