Senior Software Developer; Java Backend

Tepsivo is a young company on an ambitious mission to reshape the world of Pharma and pharmacovigilance into a modern-day industry. Since our conception in 2020, we’ve become the world’s first fully digital global drug safety provider, with a genuine end-to-end drug safety system run by our in-house developed tools.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Software Developer (Java Backend) who is ready to take on the challenge of being a backend developer for our SaaS products.

While doing this, you get the chance to make a dent in the pharmacovigilance services industry that has so far been dominated by dinosaurs relying on obsolete business models with low value-added activities and manual labor-intensive processes.

It’s high time for a change, and that’s what we’re here to do. Are you?

What is your ideal background?

• Higher education is preferred. However, since the tasks are mainly related to specific processes and understanding of the technologies used, the actual knowledge of these processes and the technologies involved in the system is the highest priority.
• We aim to have no requirements for minimum experience in years for any role. The same applies to the Senior Software Developer (Java Backend), but it is preferred that they demonstrate their ability to take responsibility and operate in a process-oriented organization.
• There are no strict requirements for certificates or completed training. However, knowledge of the technologies listed below will be extremely important and beneficial.
• Good spoken and written English. We are an international team working remotely across Europe.

What do we expect you to do?

As a Senior Software Developer (Java Backend), we expect you to be experienced with Java backend development and have experience in full-stack development, SaaS deployments, Dev Ops in AWS, Kotlin, No

SQL databases, and working with AI / ML models is definitely a plus.

Your background showcases a proven track record of successfully implementing scalable server architectures and integrating them using modern design patterns.

You are not only proficient in coding but also deeply understand the overarching structure and interdependencies within a software system. Your expertise lies in creating robust, high-performing server-side solutions that can handle growing demands while maintaining flexibility and adaptability through the use of industry-standard design patterns. As an independent thinker, you are able to propose and develop improvements to the products even at the architectural level.

Senior Software Developer (Java Backend) works on tasks for the development of Tepsivo products. The role includes design, development, debugging, and deployment of features and fixes depending on the priorities and the team involved in the development at that particular moment.

In addition to the development tasks, the role can include giving input on the roadmap of the product, performing research for features, supporting the decomposition of features into tasks, and performing the assigned tasks.

You have the ability to work independently and collaboratively and assume complete accountability for all your activities.

Last but not least, we expect you to be able to operate in a highly regulated environment requiring full documentation of all performed activities.

As the Senior Software Developer (Java Backend), you will report directly to the Head of IT.
