Job description

About the role

Triumph Research Intelligence is a SaaS business on a mission to make Risk Based Quality Management (RBQM) simple for all clinical trials. Our platform, OPRA, leads to safer patients and happier clinical trials teams – with the end goal being higher quality trials, better drugs getting to market quicker, and ultimately, more lives saved.

As the company rapidly scales, accelerated by its strong product-market fit, the time is right for an API Developer to join the TRI team.

This role is responsible for designing, developing, and integrating robust APIs that interface with TRI’s web applications and Azure-based data warehouse infrastructure. The role will play a critical part in shaping and scaling our API architecture, enabling seamless system interoperability and supporting the delivery of performant, resilient digital services. The role requires strong technical leadership, deep hands-on experience, and a collaborative mindset used to working on cross-functional initiatives.

Our company culture

At TRI, we take pride in our open and collaborative company culture – it’s at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to support each other and set each other up for success.

As a TRI team member, you can expect to be offered the right environment, compensation, and development opportunities to allow you to focus on being successful, and to support your colleagues to do the same.

In return, TRI expects our team members to work hard, focusing on what really matters. We ask for honesty, thoughtful communication, and cross-functional support. It really is that simple.

Benefits & compensation

• Flexible, remote-first working. You will be able to enjoy all the benefits of working from home, with access to coworking spaces close to you if required (via Hubble membership).
• Generous holiday as standard. We offer 27 days holiday, with a company shutdown between Christmas and New Year. Sometimes we also offer an extra, discretionary, paid day off to celebrate a specific company success.
• Extra holiday on top. For every full year you are with TRI, you will earn an extra day of holiday, up to a maximum of 30 days.
• Carefully considered, market-leading salaries. We regularly benchmark our salaries to make sure we are offering at the top end of the scale. You will have your salary reviewed annually.
• Enhanced pension offer. Following your probation period, you can opt in to our enhanced pension contributions arrangement. It’s a salary sacrifice scheme, paid on your full salary (not just the ‘qualifying amount’), which means you get better pension contributions alongside valuable tax and National Insurance savings.
• Health and wellbeing support. We offer all employees a health cash plan with Simply Health, allowing you to look after your health and wellbeing every day. Our Optimise Level 5 plan includes cash back for a huge range of health services including dental and optical, Virtual GP, face to face counselling and more.
• Life cover. You will be covered at four times your salary from day one, paid as a tax-free lump sum to your named beneficiary.
• In-person meetings and socials. We have company conferences each year, plus regular team meet-ups throughout the year.
• Training and development. We make sure that you are able to reach your full potential with TRI by offering you access to training and development, plus regular reviews and goal-setting with your line manager.
• Celebrating milestones. We celebrate your personal milestones and achievements as well, because we know there’s more to life than work.
