The Role

This is a top software engineer job that incorporates everything you've worked so hard for. And with the mission of creating cloud software that helps speed up the innovation and delivery of critical treatments and medicines to patients around the globe, it simply doesn't get any more important than this.

As a Principal Full Stack Engineer, your impact as a seasoned technical problem-solver will mean you will be focused on building software that can not only scale for heavy use but that can also evolve with new features and capabilities.

• Passion to mentor and guide engineers at all levels
• Define, evangelize, and mentor on best practices and coding standards
• Extensive experience reviewing code engineers of all levels

Requirements

• 12+ years of software development experience
• Extensive experience developing enterprise SaaS cloud applications
• Proven track record of building high volume products at scale
• Hands-on development experience with current open source tools and technologies (Java, Spring, MySQL, Hibernate, Gradle, Git, Jenkins, AspectJ, Messaging, Solr, and Lucene)
• Experience with front end technologies such as JavaScript and React
• Drive and flexibility to roll up your sleeves and work hard (and have fun) in a fast-paced startup environment
• We are looking for strong mentors with a proven record of making your team better
• Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work in the United States. Veeva will not provide sponsorship at this time
• Must be located in the PST or MST time zone

Nice to Have

Work Where It's Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It's about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We're investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it's best for you.
