RTI International operates as a large, research-led organization executing dozens of concurrent projects spanning drug discovery, epidemiology, health policy, and environmental science. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward research roles (38 of 63 active openings), with meaningful engineering and data functions (6 and 4 roles respectively), indicating a maturation of internal computational capacity alongside traditional field and lab work. The stack is classical research-grade (SAS, Stata, R, SQL, Oracle) with Salesforce and Tableau for project and data management—no recent tech adoption signals suggest stable, proven tooling rather than active technology transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Implementation Science Program Director, Epidemiology Director, Strategic Intelligence Lead
