We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer with deep software development and cloud engineering skills to help build the clinical data services behind our trials.

• Set the engineering bar through code review, testing, and CI/CD practices; keep the platform secure and modern
• Assess the current architecture to help drive a pragmatic roadmap to reduce complexity and increase delivery speed
• Work with product managers to turn ambiguous requirements into concrete, buildable technical solutions
