What this job asks for AI summary
A director-level role leading the design, development, and deployment of enterprise-scale generative AI applications at a large pharmaceutical company. The position combines hands-on engineering work — writing production code in Python and React, building agentic AI systems using frameworks like LangChain, and managing cloud infrastructure — with team leadership responsibilities including hiring, mentoring, and performance management. Suits an experienced engineer-leader with a strong background in full-stack development, cloud platforms, and applied AI.

Advertised as Principal, but the requirements read as Senior.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

Why we read it this way (8)
This role has a genuine dual nature: it requires directly managing an engineering team (hiring, onboarding, performance reviews — classic 11-3021 scope) while also demanding hands-on, production-grade coding in Python and React. 11-3021 was chosen as primary because people management is explicitly a core responsibility, but 15-1252 is a strong runner-up given the depth of hands-on engineering expected.
The title 'Director' is treated as advertised Principal-level, though the actual scope (managing one engineering team, 7+ years experience required) aligns more with a Senior band.
The degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or Master's' but does not hard-gate on either — the JD uses 'or' between the two levels and does not exclude candidates without a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Cloud platform requirement names AWS, Azure, and GCP as interchangeable — AWS is listed as the primary with Azure and GCP as alternatives.
LangChain and LangGraph are listed together as interchangeable examples of GenAI frameworks under the required qualifications; LangChain is the primary with LangGraph as an alternative.
Containers and LLMs appear in the responsibilities/stack narrative rather than a discrete required-qualifications block, so they are treated as preferred context rather than hard gates.
The posting is tagged #LI-Hybrid and the on-site protocol section describes a hybrid model (at least 50% on-site), so remote is set to false.
Two NJ locations are listed (Madison/Giralda and Princeton) with identical salary ranges; the broader New York–Newark–Jersey City CBSA is used as the metro.
