• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science or related field from an accredited 4 year university with a 3.0 to 4.0 GPA
• Must have taken relevant C.S. classes, including at least one Compilers or Operating Systems class. The Fundamentals are important at Veeva
• High work ethic. Veeva is a hard-working company
• High integrity and honesty. Veeva is a PBC and a “do the right thing” company. We expect that from all employees
• Excellent verbal and written English communication skills. Engineering is not all about the code, it’s also about communication
• 0-2 years of professional software experience. We have other jobs for more experienced hires, but EDP is designed for those just getting going in their careers
• Ability and desire to work in office 4 days/week for your first two years. After 2 years, you will have the flexibility to Work Anywhere

OUR TECHNOLOGY

• System software: Java or Rust
• Application logic: Java, Python, TypeScript
• Front end: JavaScript, React, TypeScript
• Mobile: Swift, Kotlin, React Native

THE PROCESS

Our process is different than most. It is designed to be fast, efficient and respectful. Here are the steps:

• You submit your application and take a personality test
• Within one week we will notify you via email if we would like to go to the next step or not
• The next step is a 1 hour online coding challenge in Java or Python
• After the coding challenge, the next step is a single 2-hour interview with a member of our tech evaluation team. Part of this is a coding exercise in the language of your choice (Java, JavaScript or Python)
• Within one week after this step, we will give you an offer, or let you know that we do not wish to move forward
• You will have one week to accept our offer or not. If you accept, we will hold a spot for you and expect you to show up on your start date. Accepting an offer and continuing to interview would be an ethical violation in our view
• When you join you will be assigned to an engineering manager in your work location. It’s important to know you are applying to work as an engineer in a location but not applying for a specific team/product
