The Role

Veeva’s Vault Platform is the industry-leading foundation enabling our Life Sciences customers—from emerging biotechs to global pharma giants—to run and manage clinical trials, ensure strict compliance with global regulations, and safely manufacture life‑saving medicines.

• Own the entire feature lifecycle, ensuring systems are scalable, highly available, and easily maintainable

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, primarily in Java (or a similar OOP language) at an enterprise level
• Deep expertise and hands‑on programming experience with core AWS services (EC2, IAM, Route 53, Auto Scaling, ELB, S3, VPC, etc.)
• Proven ability to configure and develop with MySQL (or similar database), including building and managing complex replication chains and multi‑master setups
• Strong experience with the modern stack: Spring/Spring Boot, Git, Jenkins/CI/CD, Tomcat, and Linux
• Expertise in Immutable Infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) utilizing Docker, Ansible, Terraform, or Packer
• Proficiency in scripting (Python/Shell) for automation
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, well‑tested code and serve as a strong technical mentor
• High work ethic. Veeva is a hard‑working company
• High integrity and honesty. Veeva is a PBC and a “do the right thing” company. We expect that from all employees
• Excellent verbal and written English communication skills. Engineering is not all about the code, it’s also about communication
