About the Team
You will join a digital product development and engineering organization made up of cross-functional, self-organized teams with the skills and ownership needed to deliver meaningful parts of our products. You will work closely with software engineers, product managers, business analysts, designers, and other stakeholders across a global organization. We value collaboration, technical curiosity, continuous improvement, and engineers who are comfortable taking ownership of their work.
Our product, Unified Trial Solutions (UTS) , is a digital clinical trial solution designed to simplify the clinical trial experience for participants and help digitize the way clinical trials are conducted. The broader platform includes patient-facing web and mobile applications, web portals, medical device integrations, content management, application configuration, and integrations with other clinical systems.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, building, testing, and evolving patient-facing applications within the UTS platform. This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong focus on React or React Native and TypeScript, alongside development in Node.js for backend-for-frontend and configuration services. You will work across web and mobile experiences and contribute to software that operates as part of a larger, highly integrated clinical trial ecosystem.
Beyond writing code, you will be expected to take ownership of technical problems, contribute to engineering decisions, collaborate closely with product and design partners, and mentor other engineers. You should be comfortable receiving feedback, learning from mistakes, and continuously improving both your own work and the way the team develops software.
We are also building an AI-driven engineering culture . We expect our engineers to actively incorporate modern AI development tools into their workflows and identify opportunities to improve engineering speed, quality, testing, and problem-solving through AI.
AI-Native Engineering Culture
AI-assisted development is becoming a core part of how our engineering teams work. In this role, you will:
Use AI coding assistants, agentic development workflows, and other AI-enabled engineering tools as part of your day-to-day development process.
Explore practical ways to use AI to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, documentation, and code review.
Take full ownership of AI-generated code and apply the same standards for review, testing, security, and quality as you would to code written manually.
Stay current with advances in AI-assisted software development and help translate new capabilities into practical improvements for the team.
Share effective AI development practices with other engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous experimentation and learning.
What You’ll Do
Design, develop, and maintain patient-facing web and mobile functionality using React or React Native and TypeScript.
Develop and enhance backend-for-frontend and configuration services using Node.js.
Build and consume APIs, including GraphQL, that connect frontend experiences with the broader UTS platform.
Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code using modern software engineering and test-driven development practices.
Take ownership of features from technical design and development through testing, release, and production support.
Partner with Product Owners, Business Analysts, designers, and other stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into effective technical solutions.
Participate in technical discussions, code reviews, Scrum ceremonies, and PI planning.
Mentor and support other engineers, providing technical guidance and constructive feedback.
Investigate production issues and work with testing and incident management teams to identify root causes and implement effective fixes.
Contribute to the continued evolution of engineering standards, development practices, and architecture across the team.
Use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully to improve engineering productivity and software quality.
Required Skills and Experience
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience working on large-scale or complex applications.
Strong hands-on experience with React or React Native.
Strong development experience with TypeScript.
Experience developing backend services or backend-for-frontend applications using Node.js.
Experience designing, building, or consuming GraphQL APIs.
Strong understanding of modern frontend development practices and application architecture.
Experience with automated and unit testing frameworks such as Jest.
Experience with test-driven development (TDD) and a strong commitment to software quality.
Proficiency with Git and modern version-control workflows.
Experience using AI-assisted development tools as part of the software development lifecycle.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to investigate complex technical issues.
Ability to take ownership of work, respond constructively to feedback, and continuously improve.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working across engineering, product, design, and other stakeholder groups.
Experience mentoring or providing technical guidance to other engineers.
Desired Skills and Experience
Experience with web and/or mobile accessibility.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines, particularly Azure DevOps.
Experience collaborating with designers using Figma.
Experience working with or contributing to design systems.
Additional backend development experience, particularly with Java.
Experience building or deploying AI/ML-enabled features in production applications.
Experience developing software within healthcare, life sciences, or another regulated industry.
Familiarity with GxP, SaMD validation, or regulated software development processes.
Native iOS or Android development experience.
