About Verisian

At Verisian, we envision a world where groundbreaking medical therapies are judged using all available evidence and the best possible software, where the data and science are transparent to companies and regulators alike to make the best possible decisions faster and with greater accuracy and confidence.

We are developing innovations for clinical research and public health authorities. While initiatives exist that have brought standardization for clinical trial data structure, lengthy analysis and submission cycles remain, while increasing trial complexity and numbers present substantial challenges in decision-making, ultimately slowing the speed of medical progress.

The products we build empower the pharmaceutical sector and regulators to analyze and quality control studies faster, with fewer resources, and at lower cost, increasing the rate at which innovation enters the market to provide improved and safer therapies for devastating diseases.

By joining us, you will commit yourself to building software that enables the analysis and faithful assessment of clinical trial outcomes, to make the world a healthier place for everyone.

Culture

At Verisian, our mission is to build the future of drug development. To help us succeed, we are creating a unique employee culture. We are fanatically customer obsessed, crafting world-class products that customers love with every interaction. We take extreme ownership and accountability for our work, seeing whatever we do through to completion. We communicate candidly and directly with each other, even when it’s uncomfortable. We are innately curious, open to alternative perspectives, and invest passionately in our own continuous growth.

Role Description

As a DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for the infrastructure used by our world-class engineering team and our customers. You will be exposed and expected to work with the latest technologies to build clean, efficient, and performant infrastructure and application deployments in secure cloud environments. As part of our core team, you will join us in troubleshooting customer issues, finding root causes, and deploying required fixes to ensure maximal performance and uptime. You will directly contribute to our overall efficiency and success by building and maintaining the rails on which our software is built and brought to our customers.

We monitor our infra with Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki.

We are currently expanding our core products: the Verisian Explorer, Validator, and Builder. Our tooling automatically extracts full dataset and column-level data lineages and dependencies from existing clinical trials to enable validation, understanding, modification, communication, as well as trial code and data reuse. This means clinical trials are analyzed and validated faster, better, and at lower costs to the benefit of all of humanity.
