About Tech@Lilly At Lilly, technology is not a support function. It is how a global medicine company operates, innovates, and delivers. Lilly in Bengaluru builds the capabilities that make this possible — cloud platforms, AI systems, and automation at enterprise scale — all in service of a purpose that makes this technology work genuinely distinctive, from advancing drug discovery to enabling connected clinical trials to keeping a global medicine company running at the standard patients deserve. About the Organization The Clinical & Non-Clinical Data Organization at Eli Lilly and Company is responsible for the design, build, and operation of enterprise data platforms that power drug discovery, clinical development, and regulatory submissions. Data Hub is building a robust Data Strategy to make Lilly's Clinical and Non-Clinical data AI-ready and audit-ready, delivering scalable, governed, and reusable data products that accelerate how medicines reach patients. The data engineering organization sits at the intersection of science, technology, and patient impact — connecting Clinical and Non-Clinical data across the full chain, from ingestion to consumption. Path/Level: R5 (Senior Data Architect) Position Summary The Senior Data Architect (R5) is a hands-on leader who designs and personally builds AI and agentic solutions that operate at enterprise scale across Lilly's Clinical and Non-Clinical data domain — multi-agent systems, LLM-orchestrated pipelines, and retrieval/reasoning architectures built on governed, semantic data foundations. This is a builder role: the architect writes code, stands up agent frameworks, and ships production AI systems personally, not just specifications. This role is split 70% hands-on technical execution including coding and 30% strategy, and shapes the future technology landscape. A defining mandate of this role is Right Model, Right Task — routing every agentic and LLM workload to the model best suited to it on cost, latency, and accuracy grounds, integrated directly with Lilly's internal data platform so routing and reasoning are grounded in enterprise-native lineage and knowledge graphs rather than bespoke, disconnected metadata. Agentic and AI-assisted ways of working are the expected default across every design, analysis, and documentation activity — and this leader is the reference point for how the broader India team scales AI-native architecture.
