The Associate Software Engineer - Clinical Software Products contributes to the design, implementation, testing, and support of clinical software applications under the guidance of experienced engineers. Assignments are sequenced to build production experience: live clinical systems, regulated delivery practice, and cross-functional product development. The team's toolchain includes advanced AI coding assistants and agentic workflows across design, implementation, and test generation. Characterization tests and golden-master replay validation serve as the executable evidence that behavior holds. Onboarding is harness-first: early assignments build or extend characterization tests, so the engineer learns current behavior through repeatable validation. Delivery runs on CI/CD, automated testing, application-level observability, and risk-based release governance aligned with current FDA Computer Software Assurance guidance. Representative technologies across the portfolio include Java, TypeScript, browser-based application frameworks, server-side JavaScript, and selected enterprise Java components. Interviews cover the specific assignment and technology stack. This individual-contributor role reports to an Engineering Manager or Senior Engineering Manager within Clinical Software Engineering.
