Not essential, but it would be great if you also have the following:

• Aptitude with CI and CD pipelines (Github preferred)
• Exposure to Unix systems
• Knowledge of Javascript, TypeScript, and a front-end framework (React)

We are looking for reliable, hard-working people who are interested in creating usable applications that are new to the pharmaceutical sector.

We encourage you to listen to feedback from the team and customers and to bring your own suggestions to the table.

Benefits
