Mineralys is a fully remote company.
Mineralys has made a deliberate architectural choice: a metadata-driven Microsoft Fabric architecture that replaces code-heavy pipelines with a configuration-driven orchestration framework — built to scale rapidly, support commercial launch, and meet the auditability standards of a regulated biotech. AI is part of how we work, and the person in this role is expected to apply it where it creates real value.
We are looking for a Director, Data Platform and Orchestration to inherit this foundation, own it end-to-end, and evolve it into a long-term strategic asset. This is not a greenfield role — the architectural direction has been set. What we need is someone with the depth to master what has been built, the judgment to evolve it thoughtfully, and the maturity to govern a framework that is foundational to how Mineralys runs its business.
This role demands equal parts architecture and execution — someone who can set the technical direction and then deliver against it, turning complex orchestration into data that the business can trust and act on.
The Director will work closely with stakeholders across Commercial and R&D, lead a network of consultants and external partners, and serve as a senior voice in data governance. They will report to the VP of IT and contribute as an active member of the Digital Center of Excellence.
This is a rare opportunity to shape how a commercial-stage biotech uses data to make decisions — with a solid foundation already in place, a business on the cusp of launch, and the mandate to take it further.

Requirements

• Hands-on, proven experience with Microsoft Fabric — this is a hard requirement. Familiarity with the broader Microsoft data ecosystem (Power BI, Azure Data Factory, Synapse) is a strong plus.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement medallion architectures (Bronze/Silver/Gold) at enterprise scale, with the discipline to deliver on time in a commercial launch environment.
• Deep familiarity with how commercial organizations operate — field force deployment, market access dynamics, sales performance measurement, and patient analytics — and the ability to use that understanding to shape platform decisions that actually serve the business.
• Experience with commercial pharma data sources (IQVIA or similar) and the ability to interpret what the data is saying — not just move it — so that what gets built is useful at the point of decision, not just technically correct.
• Solid understanding of data governance principles and the ability to operationalize them within a platform architecture — because trustworthy data starts with disciplined design.
• Actively identifies and applies AI where it creates value in the platform Familiar with AI-enabled capabilities within Microsoft Fabric data platforms
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• 7 to 15 years of progressive experience in data engineering, data architecture and business intelligence, with demonstrated growth in scope and complexity.
• Hands-on, proven experience with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI — required. Familiarity with the broader Microsoft data ecosystem (Azure Data Factory, Synapse) is a plus.
• Experience designing and implementing medallion architectures (Bronze/Silver/Gold) or equivalent data lake frameworks at enterprise scale.
• Background in the pharmaceutical industry, with meaningful exposure to the commercial space — sales, market access, or patient analytics.
• Familiarity with commercial pharma data sources (e.g., IQVIA, APLD, or similar) and use cases.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting or delivering a pharmaceutical product launch is a significant plus — this person understands what it means to own something that truly matters.
• Experience supporting or contributing to a product launch is a significant plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and build Mineralys' data platform on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, starting with commercial data use cases (sales performance, market access, patient analytics) and scaling progressively into R&D and broader enterprise needs.
• Architect and implement a medallion framework (Bronze/Silver/Gold) for data ingestion, transformation, and consumption, ensuring data is reliable, traceable, and fit for purpose.
• Identify and apply AI capabilities where they create meaningful value within the platform — accelerating pipeline development, improving data quality, or enabling smarter consumption — with the judgment to know where they don't.
• Provide hands-on technical direction to a network of consultants and external contributors, staying actively engaged in the work — reviewing pipelines, validating data models, and making architectural calls in real time.
• Co-own data governance frameworks alongside business stakeholders, embedding standards, definitions, and quality controls into the architecture from day one.
• Partner with IT Infrastructure, Commercial, and R&D business units to capture requirements and validate solutions.
• Contribute as an active member of the Technology Center of Excellence, bringing data platform expertise to broader technology strategy, and report progress, decisions, and risks clearly to the VP of IT and senior leadership.

Benefits

• This position is eligible for standard Company benefits including medical, dental, vision, time off and 401K, as well as participating in Mineralys incentive plans are contingent on achievement of personal and company performance.
