About the role

About OctoziOctozi is an agentic AI clinical intelligence platform that automates clinical data workflows for pharmaceutical sponsors. We ingest data from EDC, safety, labs, and other clinical systems, then apply AI to streamline data cleaning, discrepancy detection, medical review, safety reconciliation, coding, and reporting. Our customers run real trials on Octozi today, and we're building the next generation of AI-driven medical and safety review alongside them.

The role: We're hiring a Clinical Scientist with deep oncology experience to sit at the center of our product, our AI, and our customers. This is not a back-office science role. You'll shape what we build, validate that our AI gets the clinical details right, and make sure the sponsors using Octozi get real value from it. You will:

Partner with customer clinical, medical review, and safety teams to understand their workflows and identify where AI can remove manual burden
Work with our engineering and product teams to design clinically sound AI checks, review logic, and analytical views, and translate customer needs into product requirements
Dive deep into our AI models and automated checks to verify clinical correctness, pressure-test edge cases, and drive validation against real study data
Lead customer training, onboarding, and ongoing scientific touchpoints so teams adopt Octozi confidently and fully
Collaborate with external clinical partners, advisors, and investigators on validation work and joint initiatives
Collaborate on and contribute to publications in scientific and clinical journals
Represent Octozi externally through conference talks, webinars, and industry working groups, building our voice in AI-enabled clinical development

Qualifications:

Master's, PhD, or MDExperience in oncology clinical development, with hands-on work in medical data review, safety review, or clinical data interpretation
Fluency with clinical trial data: labs, adverse events, concomitant meds, tumor assessments (RECIST), and the realities of messy EDC data
Comfort working directly with customers: you can run a training session, lead a scientific discussion, and turn feedback into product direction
Genuine curiosity about AI. You don't need to code, but you need to want to understand how the models work and where they fail
Strong written and verbal communication; willingness to publish and speak on behalf of Octozi
Startup temperament: comfortable with ambiguity, ownership, and wearing multiple hats

Nice to have: Experience at a sponsor in data management, medical monitoring, or pharmacovigilance Prior work with AI/ML tools in a clinical setting

Why join: You'll be an early scientific voice at a fast-growing company defining how AI can redefine clinical development. Your judgment will directly shape the product, and your name will be on the work.

Compensation and benefits: $160,000 to $240,000 base salary, plus equity, healthcare, vision, and dental benefits.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
