• Collaborate with stakeholders to define technical requirements, propose solutions, and align on deliverables.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, fostering technical growth and knowledge-sharing within the team.
• Drive architectural decisions and ensure adherence to best practices for code quality, security, and scalability.
• Build and deploy containerized applications using Kubernetes and manage CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.
• Monitor, debug, and optimize systems for performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Stay informed on emerging technologies, assessing their relevance and potential impact on the platform.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering with a focus on API development and full-stack applications.
• Proficiency in Typescript, Java, or Python for building scalable and maintainable systems.
• Strong expertise in GraphQL and/or REST API design, including best practices for security and performance.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EKS, RDS, Lambda, S3, SNS, SQS, CloudWatch, and others.
• Expertise with Kubernetes for container orchestration and scaling.
• Familiarity with GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with SonarQube or other static code analysis tools.
• Strong experience with SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., DynamoDB, OpenSearch, Neo4J).
• Proven experience working with distributed systems and message brokers such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar tools.
• Exposure to test-driven development (TDD) or behavior-driven development (BDD).
• Proven ability to mentor and guide engineers, ensuring technical excellence across the team.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• Familiarity with AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) for infrastructure-as-code.
• Experience with Amazon Cognito.
• Strong knowledge of data modeling, graph databases, and query optimization.
• Experience with advanced Kubernetes features like Helm charts or custom operators.

Why Evinova (AstraZeneca)?

Evinova leverages AstraZeneca’s vast experience in developing novel therapeutics, drawing on insights from thousands of patients and clinical researchers. Together, we aim to accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines, enhance the design and execution of clinical trials, and think holistically about patient care before, during, and after treatment.

Regulators, healthcare professionals, and clinical trial teams don’t want a fragmented approach, where each pharmaceutical company offers its own digital solutions. They want sector-wide solutions that streamline their workload and broadly benefit patients. By extending our solutions to the wider healthcare community, we can foster a more unified approach to developing and deploying digital technologies, improving outcomes for teams, physicians, and ultimately, patients.

Evinova presents a unique opportunity to deliver meaningful outcomes using digital tools and AI, setting new standards in healthcare. Join us as we build a new kind of health tech company, one that redefines what a biopharmaceutical company can achieve. We’re opening new pathways, pioneering cutting-edge methods, and bringing together diverse teams to shape the future. Interested? Come and join our journey.
