What the job involves

- Build cloud infrastructure from scratch following the best practices in software development
- Drive new features and improvements in a fast-changing environment
- Build tools and automation that eliminate work and reduce the time it takes to resolve an issue
- You want to make the system better every day and are self-driven to learn all that is necessary to provide full-stack diagnostics and determine the root cause of problems
- Ensure our platform meets the scalability and reliability needs of our customers
- During an incident, lead the effort to triage and mitigate. You might need to perform periodic on-call duty if issues are escalated
- Strategize with engineering teams on complex problems. You know how to support a system that is used by 2M users and can help dev teams make decisions based on recommendations of what will work in production before it ships
- Participate in engineering design reviews of new features. Drive focused initiatives that improve operational efficiency and scalability of the platform
- Communicate effectively with engineering teams, and describe problems succinctly with sufficient detail that you can hand off an ongoing problem to another team or a peer for completion. Engage in real-time communication during outages with both technical and non-technical audiences
Our take
Veeva was created out of a predicted need for cloud-based enterprise software at a time when this software was nascent, and when current systems were archaic and cumbersome to use. By focusing on the life sciences sector, the company fills a niche to help some of the most operationally complex businesses run efficiently.
Veeva has managed to position itself as the go-to solution for large and growing companies in the life sciences sector by offering fully comprehensive cloud solutions that support the most critical functions from R&D to commercial.
The company has over 800 customers, ranging from the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, such as AstraZeneca, to emerging biotechs. For future growth, Veeva looks to the continual development of its services and expansion of its customer base. Its 2024 launch of the Veeva Compass Suite for commercial data products gives a more comprehensive view of patient information and exemplifies how Veeva is strengthening its product to meet future challenges.
