About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design build and evolve the backend services and APIs that enable clinical trial teams to configure deploy and maintain digital study experiences.

You will develop business-critical software that helps global clinical trial teams configure studies manage changes and operate digital study experiences safely and efficiently. This is a hands-on primarily backend-focused role with significant product impact.

You will own technical outcomes contribute to technical design and engineering decisions and collaborate with engineers UX designers product colleagues and study delivery teams to solve complex problems across the study lifecycle.

The team is distributed. You will work alongside colleagues based in Gaithersburg and with teammates in other locations and time zones including practice this means some early-morning overlap with European colleagues and a need to be flexible and deliberate about how you coordinate communicate and document decisions across locations.

We expect engineers to use approved AI tools responsibly in their development workflow. You remain accountable for reviewing and validating AI-generated output and for meeting security privacy quality and regulatory requirements.

What you will do

• Build software: Design develop and maintain reliable tools for study configuration deployment operation and maintenance.

• Develop backend services: Build TypeScript and services REST APIs integrations and data models.

• Contribute to technical design: Evaluate technical options and trade-offs and contribute to reusable engineering patterns and standards.

• Own technical outcomes: Take significant features services or technical initiatives from design through implementation testing deployment and ongoing improvement.

• Collaborate across locations: Work with engineers UX designers product colleagues and study delivery teams locally and across time zones to turn complex problems into practical solutions keeping decisions transparent and well documented for colleagues who are not online at the same time.

• Build quality and security in: Develop clean maintainable testable and secure software with appropriate automated testing.

• Support reliable systems: Design for scalability observability resilience and performance and contribute to monitoring troubleshooting and release support in line with the teams production-support model.

• Improve the team and platform: Reduce technical debt strengthen automation share knowledge mentor colleagues and improve engineering practices.
  

What success looks like

Success in this role means delivering reliable capabilities that make study setup and maintenance simpler safer and more your first year you will:

• Ship capabilities study teams rely on: Deliver features that measurably reduce the manual steps and rework involved in setting up and maintaining a study.

• Cut time to configure a study: Remove friction from configuration and change workflows so study teams reach a working setup faster and with fewer errors.

• Raise the platforms reliability bar: Improve test coverage observability and incident response for the services you own so regressions are caught before release.

• Establish reusable patterns: Create technical approaches and documentation that other squads can adopt while helping colleagues grow through mentoring and code review.
