Our Team:
We work on Medidata's next generation of SaaS-based clinical trial management applications, and you will play an important role in developing our new platform. Don't worry if you don't have experience in our industry or even our exact tech stack: our philosophy is that if you have a solid foundation in application engineering, a team focus, and a willing attitude, we will train and invest in you to develop your skills with our technologies.
Our platform provides a powerful way for clinicians to design and compose studies, which aids proactive decision-making, reduces risk and costs, improves patient safety, and reduces time-to-market for a drug or device. Put another way, it's saving lives. This product is used by over 1,000 pharmaceutical companies, biotech, medical device firms, academic medical centres and contract research organisations around the world.
You will report to the Engineering Manager on one of the teams developing study-building interfaces for medical professionals. We write full-stack code with attention on availability, reliability, and automated CI/CD. Our development team is located in mostly in New York, though others contribute from other locations around the world.
