Votre mission

Pierre Fabre is accelerating its transformation toward a more digital, data-driven and AI-enabled R&D organization.

To support this ambition, we are creating a new Data Engineering Lead position in Toulouse (Langlade, 31).

You will be part of the R&D Data Engineering team that operates the data platform and delivers trusted, reusable data products for Data Science, Biometry and all other R&D functions. The role combines team leadership, technical ownership and hands-on delivery. It is accountable for turning fragmented scientific and operational data into governed, production-grade assets that accelerate R&D decisions and use cases.

Your role within a pioneering company in full expansion:

1. Lead the Data Engineering team

· Build, organize and lead an internal team of data engineers, complemented by external partners when required.

· Set clear priorities, allocate capacity and establish an explicit delivery backlog jointly with R&D stakeholders and Data Science leads.

· Coach engineers, raise engineering standards, develop skills and create a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.

2. Own data-platform engineering and operations

· Take technical ownership of the R&D data platform in its AWS landing-zone environment, from implementation through reliable day-to-day operation and evolution.

· Define and enforce reference architectures, reusable patterns and engineering standards for ingestion, transformation, orchestration, storage and data serving.

· Implement infrastructure as code, CI/CD, automated testing, environment separation, observability, incident response and disaster-recovery practices.

3. Deliver trusted data products for R&D

· Partner with scientists, Data Science, Biometry, Business Analysts and R&D domain teams to translate needs into prioritised data products and services.

· Design, build and operate batch, incremental, API-based and event-driven pipelines across laboratory, preclinical, clinical, external-partner and operational sources.

· Create curated, documented and reusable datasets with clear schemas, ownership, quality rules, access conditions, SLAs and lifecycle management.

· Provide governed access through SQL, APIs, notebooks and other fit-for-purpose interfaces, enabling analytics, AI and scientific applications.

4. Embed quality, security and compliance by design

· Embed automated data-quality controls, lineage, metadata capture, auditability and reproducibility into engineering workflows.

· Apply role-based and data-level access controls, encryption, retention and classification requirements in partnership with Security, Data Governance, Quality, Legal and the DPO.

· Support GxP-qualified workloads, GDPR obligations and HDS-compliant EU data residency where required.

5. Shape the engineering roadmap and ecosystem

· Contribute to platform technology selection and lead the engineering roadmap from MVP to scale.

· Evaluate and integrate relevant technologies across AWS and modern data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake or SageMaker Unified Studio, based on the selected target architecture.

· Ensure interoperability with the existing R&D estate, including Azure-hosted sources, GitHub, Veeva, electronic laboratory notebooks, statistical computing environments and external CRO/partner channels.

This position is compatible with teleworking up to 2 days a week according to company rules.

We offer an attractive remuneration/benefits package: Incentives, profit-sharing, Pierre Fabre shareholding with matching contribution, health and provident insurance, 16 days of holidays (RTT) in addition to 25 days of personal holidays, public transport participation...

Qui êtes-vous ?

Your skills at the service of innovative projects:

Essential

· Significant experience in data engineering, including ownership of production-grade cloud data platforms and large-scale data pipelines.

· Demonstrated experience leading and developing data engineers

· Strong experience with AWS and at least one modern data platform or lakehouse/warehouse ecosystem such as Databricks, Snowflake or SageMaker Unified Studio.

· Advanced practical skills in SQL and Python, data modelling, ETL/ELT, orchestration, APIs and distributed data processing.

· Experience with cloud object storage, open table/file formats, metadata, data quality, lineage and secure data access.

· Experience implementing engineering practices including Git, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, monitoring and incident management.

· Ability to engage with scientific and business stakeholders, convert ambiguous needs into executable delivery plans and communicate technical trade-offs clearly.

· Professional fluency in English; French is strongly valued.

Preferred

· Experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare or another regulated R&D environment.

· Understanding of scientific and clinical data, including ELN/LIMS, instrument data, omics, preclinical, clinical or real-world data.

· Experience supporting GxP workloads, GDPR, HDS or comparable regulated-data requirements.

· Knowledge of FAIR principles, data products, semantic layers, master/reference data and federated data governance.

· Experience operating across AWS and Azure boundaries and integrating SaaS platforms, partner data exchanges and streaming services.

· Master's degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, data or a related discipline.
