Job description

Veeva Systems is a mission-driven organization and pioneer in industry cloud, helping life sciences companies bring therapies to patients faster. As one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history, we surpassed $3B in revenue in our last fiscal year with extensive growth potential ahead.
 
At the heart of Veeva are our values: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed. We're not just any public company – we made history in 2021 by becoming a public benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.
 
As a Work Anywhere company, we support your flexibility to work from home or in the office, so you can thrive in your ideal environment.
 
Join us in transforming the life sciences industry, committed to making a positive impact on its customers, employees, and communities.

The Role

As Senior Software Engineer for a new product within Veeva, you will be a founding member of a team building our next major AI-driven platform — one that will transform how Life Sciences companies manage safety, regulatory, and clinical development.
 
You will influence and help grow a codebase and engineering organization from the ground up, wearing multiple hats across the engineering organization. The team will be AI-first in two meaningful ways: using AI to drive engineering productivity and strong engineering discipline, and building a product that applies AI in genuinely innovative ways to problems that matter.
 
Within your first year, you will have live customers on the platform and a thriving, growing team behind it - directly accelerating how customers bring life-saving products to market.
