About eClinical Solutions

By combining a modern cloud platform with expert data services, we empower smarter decisions across the clinical trial lifecycle-accelerating innovation that ultimately improves patient outcomes.

Our engineering teams build enterprise-grade, revenue-generating products at the intersection of cloud, data, analytics, and emerging AI technologies . If you're excited about building sophisticated software that makes a real-world impact on healthcare, this is the place to do it.

You will make an impact:

As a Principal Full Stack Software Engineer , you will be a technical leader within the elluminate Product Development team. You'll help design and build the core services and user experiences of a next-generation clinical data and analytics platform-while influencing architecture, engineering standards, and technical direction.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys hands-on development , mentoring others, and bringing modern capabilities-including AI-assisted and agentic workflows-into production-grade systems .

Your day to day:
  • Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable, secure, and highly interactive web applications
  • Own and evolve core platform modules , from concept through release and support
  • Influence application and system architecture with a focus on performance, reliability, security, and maintainability
  • Lead by example through clean, well-tested code , thoughtful design reviews, and pragmatic technical decisions
  • Collaborate closely with Product Management, QA, and other engineers throughout the SDLC
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other engineers on the team

  • Integrating LLMs and AI services into .NET- and Python-based systems
  • Designing and implementing AI-assisted workflows , copilots, or intelligent automation features
  • Working with agentic AI patterns (e.g., task orchestration, tool-using agents, workflow automation)
  • Applying prompt engineering, evaluation techniques, and guardrails to ensure reliability and compliance
  • Collaborating with data and platform teams to operationalize AI-not just prototype it
Deep ML expertise is not required -we're looking for strong engineers who understand how to apply AI capabilities in real products .

Take the first step toward your dream career. Here is what we are looking for in this role.


Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
  • 10+ years in software design and development using the Microsoft technology stack preferred

  • Solid understanding of software design principles, patterns, and best practices
  • Experience across the full Software Development Lifecycle (Agile preferred)
  • Proven ability to work independently while collaborating effectively in a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and technical leadership skills
AI & Platform Experience
  • Hands-on experience integrating LLM-based services (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or similar) into applications
  • Experience using Python and/or .NET alongside AI/LLM workflows
  • Familiarity with agent-based or workflow-driven AI architectures is a strong plus
  • Understanding of secure and responsible AI usage in enterprise systems
Nice to Have
  • Strong SQL expertise (Microsoft SQL Server preferred), including performance tuning
