• Learn by doing. Skip the sidelines and routine QA—you’ll take on real engineering responsibility within your first three months, writing production code, building custom integrations, and working directly with customers to solve complex technical challenges.
• Thrive together. Learn side-by-side with seasoned Technical and Migration Architects who prioritize your growth, guiding you through complex system designs and providing transparent, actionable feedback on your code and client delivery.
• Build your future. Fast-track your career from Associate to Consultant in less than two years, building a powerful foundation in full-stack implementation, DevOps, and technical consulting while leading complex architecture projects alongside a global team.

What You'll Do

• Build solutions. Skip basic QA and debugging to write production code, develop custom integrations using Java SDKs and APIs, build DevOps pipelines, and deploy Veeva AI tools on the Vault Platform.
• Architect and migrate. Work directly with migration architects to design custom backend logic, configure enterprise SaaS platforms, and execute complex data migration scripts for global life sciences clients.
• Ship internal tooling. Accelerate delivery workflows by developing cutting-edge, developer-facing tools used globally across the Veeva Services engineering team.
• Own technical delivery. Take on real architectural responsibility from day one, mastering software engineering and client-facing technical strategy to advance from Associate to Consultant in under two years.
