Software Engineer I

Your Impact:

As a driven and experienced C++ developer, you will contribute to the development of our innovative and market-leading clinical development product suite that helps our customers to design, model, and simulate complex innovative clinical trials with the potential to create significant value for sponsors and patients by increasing their probability of success and accelerating time to market.

A key feature of such software products is our proprietary engines - software components that implement sophisticated and advanced statistical/mathematical algorithms (e.g. simulations of complex adaptive trials) for our cloud-hosted and on-premise software products.

You will be responsible for developing sophisticated and advanced statistical / mathematical algorithms in languages such as C++, R or Python for our cloud-hosted and on-premise software products.
