Job description

About the role

As aSoftware Engineer at TRI, you will be working in a growing engineering team that focuses on the design, build and maintenance of TRI’s web and software applications that support clinical trials. You will also support, mentor and coach more junior members of the team.

We use an Agile approach to development, so in your Scrum Team you will work with Engineering, Product and Test colleagues to gain an understanding of product requirement, technical strategies and testing implications. You will work with the Lead Software Engineer, Product Owner, and other engineers to create effort and time estimations for User and Tech Stories.

You’ll use your engineering skills to design, build and maintain scalable reliable, and secure web and software applications. You’ll be keen to keep up to date with the latest technologies, and to contribute new ideas to the business.

Part of the Software Engineer role is to support and mentor more junior members of the engineering team, sharing your skills and experience to help the whole team develop in a cohesive and collaborative way.

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 4 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.

About Triumph Research Intelligence

About OPRA (Operational Platform for Review and Analytics)

OPRA is smart software, built specifically for better risk management in clinical trials. It’s ‘spreadsheet easy’, but much more powerful, which mean our clients achieve better data quality, and increased efficiency.

Risk Based Quality Management (RBQM) is a methodology for ensuring that clinical trial data is of the highest quality and integrity. This means proactively identifying, assessing, and managing trial risks – which is where OPRA comes in.

Ultimately, using OPRA leads to safer patients and happier clinical trials teams – with the end goal being higher quality trials, leading to better drugs getting to market quicker and saving more lives. What’s more important than that?
