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

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

Veeva Link supports the life sciences industry by building connected data applications to improve research and patient outcomes. It helps professionals find the right people, e.g., clinical trials, education programs, or advisory boards. This streamlined access helps to reduce the time-to-market of essential drugs, conduct trials with the most relevant experts, and spread information about new treatments. More about Veeva Link can be found on our product pages at Veeva Link.

Joining the External Team, working on three sets of products: Link Key Accounts, Link Key People, and Open Data Clinical, you will have the opportunity to design and develop pipelines that are part of our knowledge base. You will also be responsible for designing the architecture of our AWS subscription. The team is closely connected to other internal teams, as well as to data governance and product teams, providing a great opportunity to make meaningful contributions impacting the product value chain.

We value end-to-end ownership, rational thinking, and an analytical mindset. You take responsibility for features and innovation using clean system design principles, participate in architectural enhancements, and ensure quality outcomes. Monitoring, metrics, and observability are integral to the feature design process.

What You'll Do

• Improve our current environment with features, refactoring, and innovation
• Work with Python on Spark-based data pipelines, using Terraform to manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Design infrastructure in AWS: we control our own infrastructure
• Experiment within your domain to improve precision, recall, or cost savings

Requirements

• Excellent communication skills, accustomed to working remotely
• More than 5 years of experience
• Expertise in Python or Java
• Experience with Apache Spark
• Experience writing software in AWS

Nice to Have

• Experience with Data Lakes, Lakehouses, and Warehouses (e.g., DeltaLake, Redshift)
• Previous experience in agile environments
• Experience with expert systems
• Fitness reimbursement
• Veeva Work-Anywhere

As an equal opportunity employer, Veeva fosters a culture of inclusion and diversity. We value all individuals and their contributions, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, politics, sexual orientation, age, disability, or life experience.

Work Where It’s Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or from home on any given day, focusing on getting work done in a way that suits you best. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have core hours for meetings and collaboration. Our offices are designed to be engaging hubs for social bonds and idea exchange, especially when working in-office three or more days a week.

Product teams are organized in regional hubs—Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto—to optimize collaboration. Customer-facing roles like Sales and Professional Services may travel to clients or work near them.

Relocation within a country does not affect salary, reducing stress and uncertainty about compensation.

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

A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike traditional companies, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose alongside shareholder interests, aiming to benefit customers, employees, and communities.

What sets us apart

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

Our purpose is to enhance productivity in our industries and create quality employment opportunities.

“Veeva’s engineering teams focus on pragmatic software development, offering an environment that values focus, speed, and integrity.”
