About the Company
This is a large, established global pharmaceutical services business with a clear purpose: to advance human health. Their technology teams build the systems that support drug development and clinical trials worldwide, and they're investing heavily in digital transformation.

Role Overview
Several engineers are moving onto a brand-new cloud-based client portal on AWS, and these new roles will keep the existing product lines moving, including forecasting, order management and temperature control. You'll work in a collaborative team on real systems with a direct impact on global clinical trials. Strong Java developers who haven't had much AWS exposure are welcome, because there's a route into cloud-native work.

• Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements to production
• Work with Oracle databases, including PL/SQL for some roles
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and improve code quality and testing
• Collaborate with product, business and engineering colleagues
• Explain technical decisions clearly, and share knowledge with the team
• Pick up cloud-native and AWS work as the platform grows

• Experience with SQL, and Oracle technologies in particular

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach
• A degree in Computer Science or a related discipline

Desirable

• Angular or AWS experience
• Oracle PL/SQL or Forms (for the database-focused roles)
• Experience in a regulated environment

Benefits & Package
