About Blue Matter

Blue Matter is a global life sciences strategy consultancy. We partner with biopharmaceutical and medtech companies to solve their most important commercial challenges across the product and brand lifecycle — from early strategy and portfolio decisions through launch readiness, commercialization, brand and customer strategy, organizational and operational design, and medical affairs. Our work shapes how breakthrough therapies reach the patients who need them.

We work alongside our specialist subsidiaries — Salience Learning, AIM, and Sam Brown — to bring deep scientific, commercial, and creative expertise to every engagement.

About BlueCortex and the team

BlueCortex is our proprietary, internal AI platform — the system our consultants rely on every day to work faster, think more sharply, and deliver more for clients. It is one of the firm’s most strategic investments.

We build BlueCortex on an agentic-first model. Our engineers direct AI coding agents to design, build, and ship software, rather than hand-writing the majority of code themselves. This is our core operating model — not an experiment — and it lets a small, senior team move at the pace of a much larger one. We’re looking for people who are genuinely excited to build this way.

We are expanding the platform significantly — including a major current Projects capability — and growing our engineering team across regions. This role is a key part of building out our Mumbai presence.

The opportunity

Like everyone on the team, you’ll work agentic-first ,



using AI coding agents as a central part of how you build. We want someone who is excited to work at the frontier of AI-assisted development and to get genuinely good at it.

What you’ll do

Build and ship product

- Build and maintain BlueCortex features across the full stack: React on the frontend, Node/TypeScript on the backend, and Python where it makes sense.
- Take well-defined features from the product roadmap — including the new Projects capability — and deliver them as clean, tested, maintainable code.
- Own the quality of what you ship: write tests, handle edge cases, and care about the details that make software reliable.
- Partner with consulting teams to turn client engagement needs into reliable, well-built software, often on engagement timelines.
- Handle client work with appropriate care for each client’s data, security, and confidentiality requirements.

Work agentic-first

- Use AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate delivery, while owning the correctness, security, and quality of the output.
- Build your skill at directing and reviewing AI-generated code and contribute ideas that make the whole team’s agentic workflow better.

Integrate and connect

- Integrate BlueCortex with Microsoft 365 and Azure services, relational and vector databases, and LLM APIs.
- Help build and maintain the connective tissue — APIs and integrations — that ties the platform together.





Collaborate across a distributed team

- Work day to day with the US-based engineering team and the product manager, with enough time-zone overlap for smooth coordination.
- Communicate clearly in writing: thoughtful pull requests, clear status updates, and good documentation are how distributed teams stay fast.
- Participate actively in code review, design discussions, and continuous improvement of the codebase.

Build responsibly

- Build with security and client-data confidentiality in mind — we handle sensitive life sciences and client information.
- Follow the team’s data-handling and access practices, and flag risks early.

What success looks like

- First 30 days : You’ve set up your environment, learned the codebase and our agentic workflow, and merged your first changes to production.
- First 60-90 days : You’re delivering features independently, reviewing others’ code, and trusted to own well-scoped pieces of the project's build-out.
- First year : You own a meaningful area of the platform; your work is consistently high quality, and you’ve grown into a dependable, senior-leaning contributor on a distributed team.

Our technical environment

Representative of how we work today, the stack evolves, and we choose pragmatic tools for the job.

- Languages : TypeScript/JavaScript, Python
- Frontend : React
- Backend : Node.js, REST APIs
- AI : Anthropic Claude and other model APIs; RAG; agentic patterns; Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- Data : Relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/SQL) and vector stores
- Cloud and platform : Microsoft Azure; Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Graph; Entra ID
- Tooling : Git/GitHub; modern CI/CD; AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code)
