The Position IT Software Engineer - DIA R&D

Who we are

The CDMA Product Area delivers essential technology platforms that enable clinical trial operations and evidence generation across Diagnostics R&D.

Education / Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, solution architecture, and systems integration. Proven experience managing the technical lifecycle of enterprise SaaS platforms. Familiarity with clinical systems (e.g., CTMS, Veeva eTMF) is highly preferred.

Technical Skills: Deep expertise in setting up and managing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure. Strong capability to design, craft, deploy, and sustain complex API integrations and data pipelines tailored to business requirements. Strong interest or demonstrated experience in integrating AI/ML capabilities or GenAI tools into enterprise workflows. Good understanding of cybersecurity and the implementation of secure software development practices. Ability to identify and proactively address complex technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and architectural challenges. Solid understanding of software quality management and performance metrics to ensure absolute data integrity.

Additional Qualifications: Agile and Lean Programming (LEAP) methodologies, with a strong ability to eliminate technical waste, optimize value delivery, and break down complex architectural goals into deliverable sprints. Excellent ability to act as a bridge between Tech and Science, translating complex technical trade‑offs to non‑technical business stakeholders in Clinical Development and Medical Affairs.
