Job description

Veeva Systems is a mission-driven organization and pioneer in industry cloud, helping life sciences companies bring therapies to patients faster. As one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history, we surpassed $2B in revenue in our last fiscal year with extensive growth potential ahead.

At the heart of Veeva are our values: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed. We're not just any public company – we made history in 2021 by becoming a public benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.

As a Work Anywhere company, we support your flexibility to work from home or in the office, so you can thrive in your ideal environment.

Are you passionate about working as part of a software engineering team with the talent, energy, and financial backing to deliver killer, industry-changing cloud-based applications built on a content platform? Do you live for the challenges of a fast-paced, rapidly growing startup that cranks out major releases every four months?

If so, we may have the job for you. We are looking for an experienced and driven engineer for the Automation Platform team for the Veeva Vault Platform team. This is a hands-on role where you will be working alongside a team of highly talented engineers who are helping us build a solid automation platform that can operate at scale and be used/extended by application teams with ease/autonomy (self-service model).

We have four building blocks for the platform:

1. Reporting: Generate innovative analytics reports of varying details suiting different personas using data from various data sources such as PostGRESQL, AWS Elastic, or Open Search, route it to Databricks, and build powerful BI dashboards in Sigma.
2. Infrastructure: e.g. Test Automation Pipelines in Jenkins using Groovy/ Python/ Shell scripting.

In this role, you will be exposed to and trained in the basics of all the building blocks, and you will be expected to be a master of a minimum of two of those while you grow more into the role.

If that's not exciting enough, we run over 100K tests in our CI/CD pipeline every day, dynamically spin up 100s of servers in the cloud to power automation runs, and have some pretty sophisticated tooling in place to consume the results.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate and contribute to state-of-the-art automation framework and cloud-based test infrastructure that can operate at scale with 24/7 availability.
• Diagnose, debug, and fix issues in cloud-based automation environment.
• Participate in code review and provide good coding practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
• 1+ years of relevant experience building tools and/or test automation framework.
• Solid programming skills in Java.
• Curious to learn and adapt to a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with a SaaS company.
• Experience working in a remote setup (Veeva is a remote-first company).
• Experience with the following tools/technologies:
• Test Automation: TestNG/Cucumber.
• Infrastructure: AWS.
• Reporting: ELK Stack.
• Orchestration: Jenkins.
• Build: Maven.
• Other Tools: Gitlab/Jira.

Compensation

• Base pay: $65,000 - $100,000 CAD.
• The salary range listed here has been provided to comply with local regulations and represents a potential base salary range for this role. Please note that actual salaries may vary within the range above or below, depending on experience and location.
