Description

We’re looking for a Full‑Stack Engineer who cares about building usable, reliable software that makes a real difference in healthcare. You’ll ship React/Vite web apps, build mobile apps with React Native or Swift/Kotlin when needed, and build the backend services behind them using Python, TypeScript, or Go with REST APIs. You’ll work closely with product, design, and research to turn ideas into prototypes and production features, and you’ll thoughtfully integrate AI services where they add value. We use Copilot and Cursor to speed up exploration and delivery, balanced with reviews, tests, and sound engineering judgment.

You’ll own features end‑to‑end from architecture and implementation to testing, deployment on OpenShift, and ongoing monitoring. If you like iterating quickly, learning in the open, and collaborating across disciplines, you’ll feel at home at BI X.

As an employee of Boehringer Ingelheim, you will actively contribute to the discovery, development and delivery of our products to our patients and customers.

Duties & Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

+ Application Development: Design, develop, and maintain front‑end (React/Vite) and back‑end services (Python/TypeScript/Go, REST), plus mobile features (React Native or Swift/Kotlin). Integrate AI services responsibly to enhance user workflows, while meeting privacy, security, and regulatory expectations.

+ System Operations and Support: Support, maintain, and optimize DEV/QA/STAGE/PROD environments and the Jenkins CI/CD pipeline. Containerize and deploy to OpenShift with automation and observability for reliable operations.

+ Architecture Integration: Incorporate REST‑based backend capabilities, data stores, identity, and cloud integrations into cohesive, maintainable solutions. Apply secure coding, dependency/container scanning, and secrets management.

+ Agile Collaboration: Work iteratively with product, design, and engineering; participate in planning, code reviews, and demos. Use Copilot and Cursor to prototype efficiently, paired with human review and testing.

+ Testing Strategy and Framework Design: Define and implement pragmatic testing across web, mobile, and services (unit, integration, E2E). Maintain test quality, coverage, and reliability to ensure high‑confidence releases.

Requirements

+ Associate degree in Computer Science, MIS or related field with a minimum of 11 years experience; or Bachelor degree in Computer Science, or MIS, or related field with minimum 9 years of experience; or a Master degree in Computer Science, MIS, or related field with minimum 7 years of experience; or relevant Business or IT experience of minimum of 11 years. Minimum of 6 years programming experience preferred.

+ Proven expertise in agile methodologies and iterative development to deliver technology solutions that address business challenges effectively.

+ 5+ years of professional experience in both front-end and back-end development, with a proven ability to integrate into seamless, high-quality products.

+ Experience building responsive/adaptive web applications and mobile solutions with a user-centric approach.

+ Profound experience in engineering practices such as code refactoring, design patterns, test-driven development, and continuous integration.

Core Competencies

+ Strong proficiency in at least one modern front-end framework (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) and one back-end framework (e.g., Next.js, Django, Gin/Fiber, Spring).

+ Extensive knowledge in building secure, scalable, and reliable software solutions, including experience with database design, API development, and cloud services (AWS & Azure).

+ Familiarity with functional programming principles and modern software architecture standards.

+ Expertise in software development testing and test automation, including unit testing, integration testing, and regression testing.

+ Hands-on experience with version control systems and continuous development and deployment tools (e.g., Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes).

+ Familiarity with container platforms, management systems, and development environments across QA, DEV, STAGING, and PROD phases.

+ Knowledge of IT security, operations, and support best practices to ensure robust and secure solutions.

+ Effective communication skills to articulate technical concepts clearly, facilitate discussions, and influence innovative solutions.

+ Track record of mentoring and guiding junior engineers, fostering knowledge sharing, and promoting best practices within teams.

+ Demonstrated thought leadership in driving innovation and contributing to the adoption of best practices across the full-stack development lifecycle.

+ Strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs.

Desired Skills, Experience and Abilities

+ Familiarity with healthcare data/standards (e.g., FHIR/HL7) and regulated environments.

+ API gateways, messaging/streaming, or event‑driven architectures.

+ Comfort with AI‑assisted IDEs for prototyping (e.g., Copilot, Cursor), using them to rapidly explore solutions, scaffold code/tests while maintaining code quality, reviews, security, and privacy best practices.

+ Comfort with lightweight discovery (analytics, user interviews, A/B tests) and partnering with design/UX research.

We are seeking a dynamic and adaptable individual with a strong capacity for learning and growth. This position is perfect for someone who thrives in collaborative environments, is eager to expand their skill set (e.g., agile coaching, ideation scouting, UX research), and is passionate about contributing holistically to the team’s success.
