Your Key Responsibilities
Software & Platform Engineering
- Design, write and ship production-grade frontend & backend code for automation,integrationsand internal tooling (JavaScript/Typescript/Svelte, C#, Python, Go, PowerShell, REST APIs).
- CI/CD on Azure DevOps:deploymentpipelines, versioncontrol, testing, review, deployment, documentation.
- Maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / Bicep) as the single sourceof truth for all our environments.
- Design and implement the platforms with strong software engineering fundamentals (following standard patterns, security and clean - maintainable code), to improve operational efficiency and developer productivity (use of AIassistancecoding is encouraged but always with manual review and human in the loop).
Clinical Data & Analytics
- Maintain&support newreleases for ourcentraldata repository, and thedatapipelines feedingtheanalyticalsolutionsfrom Medidata and other clinical sources.
- Collaborate withDataManagement,Biostatisticsand Data Science teams tooptimizedata architecture, dataqualityand analytics platform capabilities.
SAS Viya & Medidata Platforms
- Own SAS Viya 4 on Kubernetes (AKS): automate deployment,upgradesand provisioning, and become the technical reference.
- Act as system owner and administrator for Medidata: user access, configuration,releasesand vendor coordination.
