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 apublic benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.

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

We are looking for a user-obsessed Senior Full Stack Engineer with a proven track record of designing and building intuitive internal tools and applications on modern data platforms. You will translate complex data challenges into powerful, user-friendly interfaces, acting as a true solution-builder who deeply understands and anticipates user needs. This role demands end-to-end ownership—from React frontend design to robust Python/TypeScript backend services, all within a modern, serverless AWS architecture managed with Terraform and GitLab CI. You will contribute significantly to the selection and design of our core infrastructure for building future internal applications, setting the standard for scalable and reliable solutions that directly empower our team of 60+ analytics consultants. Veeva’s Analytics Business Consulting Team is dedicated to assisting our customers by creating and implementing data and analytics solutions that address key challenges faced by modern life sciences organizations.

What You'll Do

• Drive User-Centered Design: Engage directly with our internal consultants to gather requirements, understand their workflows, and build intuitive, user-centric tools that enhance their productivity and solve their complex problems
• Build End-to-End Solutions: Architect, develop, and maintain full-stack applications, writing clean frontend code with React and building robust backend services and APIs with Python or TypeScript
• Embrace Serverless & Containers: Design, deploy, and operate services using AWS Lambda for event-driven logic and AWS ECS with Fargate for containerized applications
• Own Your Infrastructure with Terraform: Provision, configure, and manage your applications AWS infrastructure exclusively with Terraform, ensuring your environments are automated, reproducible, and scalable
• Automate with GitLab CI: Design, build, and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI to test and deploy your serverless and container-based applications safely and efficiently
• Ensure Operational Health: Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize application performance and infrastructure, ensuring high availability and security across the stack

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in a full-stack or backend-heavy engineering role
• User-Centric Mindset: Exceptional communication and collaboration skills with a proven ability to work with non-technical stakeholders. You must demonstrate strong user empathy and a passion for building tools that people love to use
• Backend Expertise: Deep knowledge of Python (e.g., FastAPI, Flask) or TypeScript (Node.js ) for building scalable, production-grade APIs and backend services
• Cloud Proficiency: Extensive hands-on experience deploying and managing production applications on AWS using services like AWS Lambda, ECS with Fargate, and API Gateway
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Strong, hands-on experience managing production cloud infrastructure with Terraform
• CI/CD Expertise: Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, specifically with GitLab CI
• Autonomy: A self-starter mentality with the ability to take ownership of projects, make pragmatic technical decisions, and see them through to completion

Nice to Have

• Experience building internal tools or applications for business users, analysts, or consultants
• Deep experience with containerization using Docker
• Knowledge of AWS event-driven services like SQS, SNS, and EventBridge
• Experience building applications that interact with data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) or data lakes
• Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
• PTO and company-paid holidays
• 1% charitable giving program

Work Where It’s Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It’s about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We’re investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it’s best for you.

A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

What sets us apart

In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

Veeva’s public benefit purpose is to help make the industries we serve more productive and create high-quality employment opportunities.

“Veeva’s engineering teams take a pragmatic approach to software development. We offer an ideal environment for engineers who value focus, speed and integrity in their work.”
