The Role
As a Full Stack Senior Developer at Datatrial, you will be joining a small but ambitious team. You will work within an agile sprint driven methodology developing against a roadmap to improve and grow our existing clinical product suite. When you join Datatrial, your role will firstly concern learning the domain of clinical trials and the products Datatrial have built in this domain. To facilitate this, you will be mentored by other developers in the business to get you in a position where you understand the domain and our products enough so you can start writing code. You will then work on the existing codebase of our products maintaining and developing functionality alongside other members of the team. Our core development stack is C# .NET in the back end, the Aurelia JavaScript framework in the front end and T-SQL on our SQL server databases. Maintaining and validating our code is important to us and role will require writing back-end unit and front-end e2e (end-to-end) tests to ensure we keep our quality high.
Regulatory compliance and quality are a big part of everything we do at Datatrial. We can be independently audited at any time so you will be expected to gain an understanding of our quality management system and adhere to standard operating procedures related to the role.
We are an evolving team and there is opportunity within the role to bring your experience to improve and automate deployment processes using Azure Dev Ops. We will always listen to ideas and suggestions on how to improve what we do and have an open autonomous culture within the team where everybody is heard, and everybody can shape how we work.
