InsightRx is pioneering the future of precision medicine. We envision a world in which all medications work as intended, maximally effective and safe. Our platform leverages quantitative pharmacology and artificial intelligence to optimize therapeutic outcomes across the spectrum of drug development and patient care. It has benefited close to 2 million patients across the U.S. and Europe.Life Sciences: Accelerating drug development with AI-powered PK/PD modeling and decision support. This includes building AI agents that streamline pharmacometric workflows, enabling scientists to run complex analyses, grounded in clinical trial data.Healthcare Delivery: Enabling precision dosing and individualized treatment at the point of care. Our focus here includes developing robust retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines to support clinicians with real-time, context-aware dosing guidance.AI is central to our next phase of growth. We're building agentic AI systems that enhance how clinical pharmacologists, pharmacists, and translational scientists conduct modeling and make therapeutic decisions.About the RoleWe are looking for a Principal AI Engineer to lead the design and implementation of advanced AI systems—particularly in the areas of agentic AI and production-grade LLM applications.
