• Partner with product teams, software engineers, cloud engineers, and internal and external stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.
• Apply software engineering best practices to system design, implementation, testing, security, reliability, and scalability.
• Support modern CI/CD and automated deployment practices.
• Participate in Agile development activities, technical design discussions, code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving.
• Champion secure engineering practices and contribute to continuous improvement across the engineering organization.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline; Master's or PhD welcomed.
• Approximately 8-10+ years of relevant software/cloud engineering experience or equivalent experience.
• Strong hands-on software engineering experience is required.
• Experience developing production applications, backend services, APIs, microservices, or other cloud-native software solutions.

• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform:

  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - strongly preferred
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Strong experience with  Terraform / Infrastructure as Code .
• Experience working within an  Agile software development environment .
• Ability to independently architect and build solutions from loosely defined business or technical requirements.

• Hands-on  Rust programming experience.
• Experience with  Python, Go, or other modern software development languages .
• Kubernetes and containerization experience.
• Cloud infrastructure engineering experience.
• Experience developing cloud-native applications and microservices.
• Pharmaceutical, life sciences, healthcare, or other regulated-industry experience.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to combine  software engineering and cloud engineering while supporting innovative work within a leading global pharmaceutical organization. You'll join a collaborative engineering environment where technical quality, security, curiosity, and continuous improvement are highly valued.

If you're a hands-on software engineer with strong cloud expertise who enjoys solving complex problems and building scalable cloud-native solutions, we'd love to hear from you.
