The Role

We are looking for innovative, passionate people who want to work on software that has a clear and real-world impact.  ALMAC are working to help advance human health and streamline how clinical trials are executed for our clients. 

What your colleagues at Almac are saying:

•     “I am like a doctor but I build software for clinical trials.  Our software helps pharma companies advance human health and streamlines the clinical trial process.”

•     “One day…one of the drugs that was being tested in the clinical trial system I helped build may be approved, and I can say I had a part in that!”

What to expect:

As a senior Software Developer, you will be developing software that will be used in the clinical trial industry.  You may be customising our Interactive Response Technology (IRT) platform, or building a completely new feature for a client just to meet their specific trial design need.

  • For each project assignment, you will be collaborating with Design Mangers, Architects, Tech Leads, Developers, Testers & QA to ensure we deliver a high quality solution that is on-time.
  • Occasionally you will provide tiered level production support, or work on maintenance assignments as needed for our existing applications.
  • Lastly, you really will be helping our clients to advance human health and make a true impact for the greater good!

How will you be doing this?

  • Coding with the latest and greatest development tools from the Microsoft tech stack.
  • Working with a developer-friendly and mature .NET based service bus technology such as NServiceBus.
  • Designing and developing within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that is loosely coupled, and adheres to modern design patterns and principles.
  • Writing high quality C# / ASP.NET MVC code that has high automated unit test coverage and ensure it adheres to the SOLID principles.
  • You will be writing efficient and performant LINQ queries and working within a platform that leverages asynchronous programming via Async and Await.
  • You will be exposed to and use advanced C# constructs, functions, and delegates.

Team & Culture

Advancing human health requires exceptional people – your talent, experience and passion will be a key strength to our growing team.  Our development group believes in a team atmosphere, where each individual is willing to help another.  Our unique boot camp program for new technical hires is comprised of sessions designed to provide context around clinical trials, what we do within our platform and how, and a taste of what our developers are asked to build in real clinical trial studies.  We encourage personal development – our frequent architecture conferences inspire all developers across ALMAC Clinical Technologies to set aside time to learn something new or upcoming.

As part of a busy team within a rapidly growing organisation, operating within a challenging industry you will benefit from the numerous personal and professional developmental opportunities available throughout the Almac group.
