System Developer

Job Description

Would you like to contribute to the safer use of vaccines and medicines for everyone everywhere? We are looking for a full stack System developer to join one of our agile DevOps teams.

UMC’s technology is instrumental in monitoring the safety of medicines and vaccines, one recent example being the rollout of vaccines during the COVID pandemic. It all began in the 1960s with the thalidomide disaster (known as Neurosedyn in Sweden), which led to birth defects in thousands of babies, triggering a major reform of pharmaceutical regulation. The World Health Organization initiated a programme to monitor the safety of medicines and prevent future harm, and a decade later, UMC was founded in 1978 to support its work.

Join us in carrying on this legacy into the future – as part of one of UMC’s DevOps teams, you will use your advanced problem-solving, learning, and innovation skills to perfect code and constantly develop and improve our applications. We will also rely on your leadership abilities and your capacity to mentor and guide fellow developers. This is a kind, inclusive, and diverse organisation where we help each other to succeed together. If this sounds like you, then you should apply.

Ideally, you are:

• Interested in team dynamics, striving to be part of a high performing team. Good at communicating with stakeholders, both technical and non-technical audience.
• Knowledgeable in the entire tech stack and application management/operations. Focused on quality and finding solutions to problems.
• Knowledge in cloud technologies and cloud native solutions
• Experienced in system development and DevOps
• Open to exploring new ways of working (right now AI assistants, tomorrow - who knows?) and seeing how this can be applied in your own work.
• Holding a BSc degree in a relevant field. While we don’t expect you to be familiar with our domain from the start and are happy to teach you, any experience within healthcare or pharma would be a plus.

What’s in it for you? UMC offers a creative, inspiring, fun, and collaborative work environment where your ideas will be every bit as valued as your programming expertise. We take great pride in our work and our processes and make time to learn and improve. At UMC, you have a 37-hour work week and a generous vacation depending on your age with a minimum of 28 days per year for all and up to 35 days per year if you are over 40 years of age.

This is a full-time role at our office in the heart of Uppsala, Sweden, with flexible hours and hybrid possibilities. This position may be filled before the application deadline, so please apply as soon as possible.

What you will be doing:

• Collaborate closely with Product management and have impact on product roadmap.
• Coach and mentor other developers, and be part of creating an amazing DevOps team.
• Design, implement, and test solutions.
• Release, deploy, and run operations.
• Maintain and optimise new and existing solutions.
• Share knowledge and help colleagues.
• Continuously grow and learn through exciting challenges and innovative projects.

We know, we are asking a lot - UMC will in return offer you a fun and challenging place to work, where you get to build impactful applications with high quality.
