Overview

We are seeking an experienced Pharmaceutical Safety Medical Doctor with a proven background in health technology to join our cross-functional team as a Contract Medical Safety Expert. This role is central to developing and validating an AI-powered adverse event (AE) detection engine that can accurately identify and categorize FDA-reportable events from unstructured and structured medical data.

This contractor will play a key role in helping Hippocratic AI create a robust system that meets regulatory standards and clinical expectations while working at the intersection of pharmacovigilance, clinical safety, and cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

Key Responsibilities

• Subject Matter Expertise: Provide expert clinical and regulatory guidance on pharmacovigilance, especially around US FDA requirements for AE reporting and MedWatch compliance.

• AI Model Development Collaboration:

  • Partner with the AI/ML and Clinical Informatics teams to design annotation schemas and decision logic related to AE identification.

  • Define clinically validated criteria to distinguish reportable vs. non-reportable events.

  • Contribute to the design and refinement of classification taxonomies for adverse events, seriousness, and expectedness.

• Quality & Safety Oversight:

  • Review model outputs and participate in error analysis of AI-generated AE classifications.

  • Help define “safe fail” protocols for uncertain or ambiguous cases.

• Data Strategy Support:

  • Inform data collection strategies and guide labeling/annotation efforts for adverse event corpora.

  • Collaborate on test sets that simulate real-world AE reporting cases across various therapeutic areas.

• Regulatory Alignment:

  • Ensure compliance with FDA pharmacovigilance standards (21 CFR Part 314, ICH E2A/E2D, etc.).

  • Liaise with internal quality and regulatory stakeholders to audit model readiness for future deployment.

• Stakeholder Communication:

  • Summarize clinical safety perspectives for cross-functional leadership and potential external partners.

  • Contribute to documentation supporting FDA or regulatory body interactions, if required.

Required Qualifications

• MD (Doctor of Medicine) with board certification strongly preferred.

• 5+ years of experience in pharmacovigilance or drug safety within a pharma, biotech, or CRO environment.

• At least 2 years of experience collaborating with or working at a health tech or AI/ML-focused company, ideally involving clinical data or regulatory technology products.

• Strong familiarity with FDA AE reporting requirements, MedDRA, and ICH E2B guidelines.

• Clinical expertise in therapeutic areas such as primary care, internal medicine, or neurology is a plus.

• Experience working with or reviewing outputs from NLP/LLM or AI-based systems is highly desirable.

• Exceptional attention to detail, with a strong sense of clinical judgment and ethical responsibility.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI model validation or human-in-the-loop review systems.

• Familiarity with tools like MedDRA, WHODrug, Argus Safety, or other AE signal detection platforms.

• Prior involvement in developing medical ontologies or rule-based decision frameworks.

Compensation

• Competitive hourly or monthly consulting rate (commensurate with experience).

• Flexible schedule with expected 10–20 hours/week depending on project phase.
