Data Engineer

Data Engineer Global Supply Chain Digital & Technology At GSK, we unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. We are a global biopharma company with a special purpose – to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. We’re proud to be leading a healthcare revolution, and we’re looking for people who can help us deliver on our ambition.   Role Overview The Data Engineer provides technical leadership for how product and process information is structured, connected and reused across digital products and manufacturing systems, with a particular focus on the digital product profile. The role supports the transformation of product and process data from R&D through CMC into commercial by shaping how that data is modelled, integrated and exposed for use in downstream systems and analytics.   The job holder works with product teams, R&D partners and manufacturing technology teams to define practical strategies for connecting data and systems (including the use of ontologies, knowledge graphs, integrations and AI where appropriate), enabling more seamless reuse of product and process knowledge across platforms. They also help define and operate the technical foundations (data pipelines, integrations, environments and deployments) needed to run these digital and AI-enabled capabilities safely and at scale, and to demonstrate that product and process data is being reused across R&D, CMC and commercial systems with improved data quality and time-to-access.     In this role you will • Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines and integration flows that move digital product profile and related data between PDLM and other systems, using agreed branching strategies and automated checks. • Ensure pipeline, integration and mapping code is kept under version control, automatically tested and peer-reviewed before release, so changes remain traceable, repeatable and supportable. • Use approved AI tools in your day-to-day work to improve your own productivity and your team’s ways of working, sharing what works and applying sound judgement, including validating outputs and following GSK’s Responsible AI, privacy and security requirements. • Own the design of data and integration services within enterprise architecture guardrails, documenting decisions, trade-offs and rationale in decision records and technical documentation. • Define environment promotion flows (e.g. DEV, TEST, VAL, PROD) for data and integration services supporting R&D, CMC and commercial use of product and process data. • Support releases and integrations end-to-end: maintain pipelines, automate deployments, manage repositories and environments and ensure changes follow validation and change-control requirements. • Work with R&D and central ontology / knowledge-graph teams to implement and operate data and metadata structures (for example applying agreed ontologies, reference data and mappings) so digital product profile data can be linked and reused across platforms, without owning the ontology roadmap itself. • Collaborate with AI and analytics teams to provision data pipelines, integrations, environments and access patterns that enable safe AI proofs of concept and AI-assisted mapping of data models and ontologies. • Design and support integration patterns between PDLM and key downstream systems (such as MES, LES/LIMS, ERP, control and regulatory/CMC platforms) so product and process data can flow reliably from source to execution and submissions. • Make practical use of AI-assisted development, agent-based workflows and prompt templates for engineering, testing, documentation and support, validating every AI output for accuracy, security, GxP/data integrity and maintainability before it is committed or released, and applying
