The Role

This is a top software engineer job that incorporates everything you’ve worked so hard for. And with the mission of creating cloud software that helps speed up the innovation and delivery of critical treatments and medicines to patients around the globe, it simply doesn’t get any more important than this. 

Your impact as a seasoned technical problem-solver will mean you will be focused on building software that can not only scale for heavy use, but that can also evolve with new features and capabilities.

• Quickly break down complex problems into potential solutions, accounting for knowns and unknowns, in order to get to solid resolutions faster.
• Passion to mentor and guide engineers at all levels
• Define, evangelize and mentor on best practices and coding standards.
• Extensive experience reviewing code engineers of all levels.

Requirements

• 12+ years of software development experience
• Extensive experience developing enterprise SaaS cloud applications
• Proven track record of building high volume products at scale
• Hands-on development experience with current open source tools and technologies (Java, Spring, MySQL, Hibernate, Maven, Git, Jenkins, AspectJ, Messaging, Solr, and Lucene)
• Drive and flexibility to roll up your sleeves and work hard (and have fun) in a dynamic startup environment
• We are looking for strong mentors with a proven record of making your team better
