The Phoenix Cloud platform is a growing suite of cloud-native modules that extend the analytic core of Phoenix with powerful capabilities, from publication-ready graphing (TFL Studio) to GenAI-powered report authoring (AI PK Reports), with more modules on the horizon. You'll be building software that directly accelerates the pace of drug development, helps scientists spend less time on mechanical data work and more time on the science that brings life-saving medicines to patients.
About the Team
Phoenix Cloud is built by a collaborative, mid‑sized team of engineers and testers organized into product‑aligned groups. The team’s effort is focused on delivering new platform capabilities. Technical decisions are made by the people closest to the work and the team holds a high bar for accuracy, performance, test coverage, and maintainability.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain cloud-native modules within the Phoenix Cloud platform using Java, React, and PostgreSQL on AWS
Partner with product managers and domain experts to translate scientific workflow needs into technical requirements and deliverables
Author and review tests to uphold the validation standards required by regulated life sciences customers
Participate in code reviews with a focus on maintainability, security, and performance across a growing multi-module cloud platform
Work across product, QA, and engineering teams to ship features that span the full "data in" to "report out" workflow
Mentor and guide junior and mid-level engineers, providing meaningful feedback to elevate team output
Contribute to process improvements and team process documentation
Develop a working understanding of PK/PD workflows and the regulatory context our customers operate in (no prior pharma experience required)
