ppInstitute for Molecular and Translational Cardiology (IMTC), IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, San Donato Milanese (Milan, Italy) Fixed-term contract, tempo pieno, on site.
/p pOur group is led by Prof. Luigi Anastasia, Professor of Biochemistry at Universita Vita-Salute San Raffaele.
We work at the intersection of chemical biology, regenerative medicine and cardiovascular research, combining experimental science with omics and computational analysis.
/p pPublications: Scholar: /p pWe are opening a new position to build the software layer that will let AI agents support our research in a dependable way.
This is an engineering role, distinct from the omics and data analysis carried out by our scientists.
The focus is not a specific scientific question, but the infrastructure through which answers are produced: its design, deployment and operation.
/p h3Responsibilities /h3 ul liDesign and build the infrastructure that lets AI agents reach scientific literature, internal documents, analysis pipelines, databases and computing resources through clearly defined tools and permissions.
/li liDeploy and operate that layer: versioning, logging, monitoring, backup, secrets management and human approval for sensitive actions.
/li liDefine how an agent is assessed before it is trusted in routine work: accuracy, reproducibility, failure modes and cost.




/li liIntegrate it with our existing data and analysis environment without weakening security or reproducibility.
/li liMaintain the systems and document them so the team can operate and extend them.
/li /ul h3Requirements /h3 ul liSolid Python, demonstrated through academic, personal, open source or professional work.
/li liPractical experience with LLM based applications that goes beyond prompting: tool use, state, error handling, multi step workflows.
/li liWorking knowledge of Linux, Git, containers and APIs.
/li liWillingness to own a system after the first prototype, and to test it seriously rather than demonstrate it.
/li liClear written and spoken English.
Italian is useful but not required.
/li /ul pDesirable, not required: agent frameworks, MCP, self hosted model serving, CI/CD, workflow managers, experience with sensitive or health related data, open source work.
/p pThe position suits an early career engineer, including an outstanding recent graduate or a PhD candidate.
We weigh evidence of what you have built more than job titles or years of experience.
Remuneration will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.
/p pApplications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
