About the Team — Life Sciences Cloud

Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud is purpose-built for pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and healthcare companies — helping them accelerate innovation, improve patient outcomes, and streamline commercial operations. Our engineering team builds industry-specific solutions across clinical data management, HCP engagement, patient services, and regulatory workflows, all powered by Salesforce's AI + Data + CRM platform and Agentforce.

We work in a deeply collaborative, cross-functional environment with Data Scientists, UX Designers, Product Managers, and domain experts — building enterprise-grade solutions that directly impact people's lives.

Role Description

We are hiring Software Engineers across multiple levels — MTS, SMTS, and LMTS — on the Life Sciences Cloud team. Whether you are a strong individual contributor, a seasoned technical lead, or a force-multiplying engineering leader, we want to hear from you. The level of the role will be determined based on your experience, scope of impact, and technical depth.

Your Impact — You Will:

• Build and ship high-quality, production-grade software using modern engineering practices, with AI as a core part of your development workflow — pushing the boundaries of AI development tools to deliver secure, optimized, and high-quality code

• Design and orchestrate complex systems where AI agents integrate seamlessly into life sciences human workflows — spanning clinical data, HCP engagement, patient services, and regulatory operations — driving efficiency and innovation at scale

• Contribute to building and maintaining the shared system context, an explicit repository of system designs, constraints, and standards that enables AI to operate accurately and reliably

• Critically evaluate code (human or AI-generated) for correctness, quality, security, and performance

• Collaborate with Product, UX, and domain experts to translate complex regulatory and compliance requirements (HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, GxP) into scalable, production-ready software

• Participate across the full software development lifecycle — design, development, code review, testing, deployment, and monitoring

• Write automated unit, integration, and functional tests as a standard part of your engineering practice

At SMTS and above, you will additionally:

• Lead technical design and architecture decisions for significant features and systems on Life Sciences Cloud

• Mentor and uplevel engineers through meaningful code reviews, hands-on guidance, and technical coaching

• Drive service ownership — proactively monitor production systems and lead incident resolution

At LMTS, you will additionally:

• Define technical strategy and multi-quarter architecture roadmaps, influencing platform-wide decisions across the Life Sciences vertical

• Develop each engineer's ability to work effectively in an AI-augmented environment, coaching growth into higher-level system design and architecture work

• Own how AI tools are integrated into the team's daily development cycle — including configuration, feedback loops, and judgment calls about when human review is required

• Serve as the guardian of architectural integrity, security best practices, and technical standards as AI increases code volume — coaching engineers to critically audit AI-generated code for logic flaws, vulnerabilities, and performance issues

• Act as a technical partner to senior Product, Design, and domain leadership to translate strategic Life Sciences initiatives into engineering reality

Required Skills:

• 3+ years of software engineering experience (MTS: 3–5 yrs / SMTS: 5–8 yrs / LMTS: 8+ yrs) with a proven track record of shipping production-quality software

• Strong proficiency in one or more of Java, Python, Go, or JavaScript/TypeScript for scalable backend or full-stack development

• Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles

• Solid experience with RESTful API design, microservices architecture, and distributed systems

• Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases, query optimization, and data modeling

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and deployment practices (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and modern DevOps practices

• A demonstrated, genuine AI-first approach to engineering — using AI tools to move faster, build fluency across the stack, and contribute well beyond your core specialty

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, etc.)

• Advanced prompt engineering skills — ability to write precise, structured prompts and cultivate the system context that makes AI outputs reliable, secure, and production-ready

At LMTS, additionally required:

• Active, hands-on proficiency with AI development tools at full utilization — with the technical depth to evaluate architectural integrity and make informed decisions about AI-generated output

• Proven track record of influencing technical direction across multiple teams and driving org-level engineering decisions

Preferred Skills:

• Life sciences or healthcare domain knowledge — clinical trials, pharma commercial operations, medical devices, HL7/FHIR, HIPAA/GxP compliance

• Familiarity with regulated software environments — 21 CFR Part 11, Computer System Validation (CSV), CDISC, RTSM, or EDC systems

• Experience building AI/ML integrations or agentic solutions at production scale

• Salesforce platform familiarity — Apex, LWC, Agentforce (nice to have, not required)
