Location: Fully Remote - Eastern Time Zone preferred
Pay Range: $80-$90/hour W2

Please Note: We are unable to accept applications from third-party agencies for this position. Candidates must be eligible to work directly on Alphanumeric's W2 without requiring sponsorship now or in the future.

The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer with strong cloud engineering expertise to join a collaborative team responsible for building reliable, scalable, secure, and efficient applications.
This is not a traditional cloud infrastructure or DevOps-only position. Software engineering experience is a core requirement. The ideal candidate combines hands-on application development with strong knowledge of modern cloud platforms and Infrastructure as Code.
As a senior technical contributor, you will take loosely defined business and technical requirements, translate them into well-defined technical solutions, and architect and build those solutions through implementation.
You will work alongside talented engineers in a highly collaborative environment that values curiosity, innovation, pairing, continuous improvement, and pragmatic engineering practices.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and implement reliable, scalable, and secure cloud-native applications.
  • Translate business and technical requirements into well-designed software solutions and technical specifications.
  • Develop and maintain production-quality software within modern cloud environments.
  • Design solutions across Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and/or Amazon Web Services (AWS), with GCP strongly preferred.
  • Build and maintain cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices.
  • Partner with product teams, software engineers, cloud engineers, and internal and external stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Apply software engineering best practices to system design, implementation, testing, security, reliability, and scalability.
  • Support modern CI/CD and automated deployment practices.
  • Participate in Agile development activities, technical design discussions, code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving.
  • Champion secure engineering practices and contribute to continuous improvement across the engineering organization.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline; Master's or PhD welcomed.
  • Approximately 8-10+ years of relevant software/cloud engineering experience or equivalent experience.
  • Strong hands-on software engineering experience is required.
  • Experience developing production applications, backend services, APIs, microservices, or other cloud-native software solutions.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform:
    • Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - strongly preferred
    • Microsoft Azure
    • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Strong experience with Terraform / Infrastructure as Code.
  • Experience working within an Agile software development environment.
  • Ability to independently architect and build solutions from loosely defined business or technical requirements.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Hands-on Rust programming experience.
  • Experience with Python, Go, or other modern software development languages.
  • Kubernetes and containerization experience.
  • Cloud infrastructure engineering experience.
  • Experience developing cloud-native applications and microservices.
  • Pharmaceutical, life sciences, healthcare, or other regulated-industry experience.

Why Join?
This is an opportunity to combine software engineering and cloud engineering while supporting innovative work within a leading global pharmaceutical organization. You'll join a collaborative engineering environment where technical quality, security, curiosity, and continuous improvement are highly valued.

If you're a hands-on software engineer with strong cloud expertise who enjoys solving complex problems and building scalable cloud-native solutions, we'd love to hear from you.
