Accountabilities

We are seeking a passionate and skilled Software Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. In this role, you’ll be responsible for designing and building full-stack applications that are foundational to our platform’s success. Your work will span backend services, cloud infrastructure, and front-end development—giving you the opportunity to shape both core functionality and the user experience.

You will work directly with the Director of Engineering to help define technical direction, make architectural decisions, and drive key initiatives across the platform. This is a highly collaborative role that offers visibility and impact across teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain web applications and APIs using TypeScript or Java.

• Build and optimize scalable backend systems with GraphQL and RESTful APIs.

• Apply object-oriented programming (OOP) principles to design clean, modular, and maintainable code.

• Develop intuitive and performant front-end interfaces using React.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze requirements and deliver solutions using frameworks like Express or Spring.

• Monitor, debug, and optimize systems for performance, reliability, and scalability.

• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and best practices to continuously enhance development workflows.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Proficiency in Typescript or Java

• Strong understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles.

• Strong experience with REST API design and development.

• Hands-on experience with React, NextJS, and/or Angular.

• Experience working with SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., DynamoDB, OpenSearch, Neo4J).

• Exposure to test-driven development (TDD) or behavior-driven development (BDD).

• Strong problem-solving skills and an aptitude for learning new tools and technologies.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a team environment.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• Experience with AWS services such as EKS, RDS, Lambda, S3, SNS, SQS, CloudWatch, and others.

• Experience with Kubernetes.

• Familiarity with GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience with SonarQube or other static code analysis tools.

• Exposure to serverless architecture and event-driven systems using AWS Lambda and related services.

• Knowledge of data modeling, graph databases, and query optimization.

• Awareness of security best practices in cloud-native and distributed applications.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

Evinova draws on AstraZeneca’s deep experience developing novel therapeutics, informed by insights from thousands of patients and clinical researchers. Together, we can accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines, improve the design and delivery of clinical trials for better patient experiences and outcomes, and think more holistically about patient care before, during and after treatment. We know that regulators, healthcare professionals and care teams at clinical trial sites do not want a fragmented approach. They do not want a future where every pharmaceutical company provides their own, different digital solutions. They want solutions that work across the sector, simplify their workload and benefit patients broadly. By bringing our solutions to the wider healthcare community, we can help build more unified approaches to how we all develop and deploy digital technologies, better serving our teams, physicians and ultimately patients. Evinova represents a unique opportunity to deliver meaningful outcomes with digital and AI to serve the wider healthcare community and create new standards for the sector. Join us on our journey of building a new kind of health tech business to reset expectations of what a bio-pharmaceutical company can be. This means we’re opening new ways to work, pioneering cutting edge methods and bringing unexpected teams together. Interested? Come and join our journey
