Remote - Work from anywhere in Australia

BENEFITS

• Work from home anywhere in Australia
• Join an early-stage MedTech company where you can genuinely influence product and technical direction
• Work at the intersection of software engineering, AI, clinical trials and healthcare data
• High level of autonomy, reporting directly to the Director
• Own projects from early prototype through to secure, scalable cloud applications
• Opportunity to work across both internal research tools and customer-facing products

About the Company/Role

Our client is an Australian research and development company applying AI alongside clinical and scientific expertise to improve how outcomes are measured and trusted in clinical trials. They are now looking for a Software Engineer to join as their first engineer, taking significant ownership of how software products are designed, built and deployed. The role would suit a self-directed Software Engineer who enjoys working in an early-stage environment, is enthusiastic about AI-assisted development, and wants the opportunity to shape both technical architecture and product direction.

Responsibilities include:

• Build, test, document and maintain internal and customer-facing web applications
• Develop and maintain automated pipelines to ingest, clean and process complex clinical trial data
• Transition local software prototypes into secure, scalable and user-friendly cloud applications
• Build configuration tools used by implementation teams to set up and validate clinical studies
• Help define technical requirements and influence product direction
• Select appropriate client-side frameworks based on the business and product problem
• Develop reusable application components across multiple web applications
• Support integrations with eClinical platforms, EDC systems and relational databases
• Ensure clinical data is handled securely, with appropriate consideration for privacy and encryption
• Apply software engineering best practices across automated testing, version control and CI/CD
• Work closely with the broader team to turn evolving business and research requirements into practical software solutions

Skills & Experience

• Experience with modern frontend technologies such as React, Angular or Vue
• Familiarity deploying applications using modern cloud infrastructure such as AWS, Render, Vercel or Docker
• Experience with clinical trials, eClinical systems, CTMS, EDC platforms such as Medidata Rave or Veeva, EMR software, clinical data privacy, or microservices would be beneficial.
• Experience with automated testing, including unit and integration testing
• Strong problem-solving and analytical capabilities
• Ability to critically review and validate AI-generated code rather than simply relying on its output
• Comfortable working independently in an early-stage business where requirements and established processes may not always exist
• Willingness to take ownership of product and technical decisions

If you are a Software Engineer looking for more ownership and the opportunity to work at the intersection of MedTech, AI and clinical trials, we would love to hear from you.
