The Role
- Technical Leadership: Mentor and technically lead teams of talented software engineers and data scientists, shaping their professional development
- Platform Components: Design and build API-first features, high-performance services, and enterprise tooling that are the baseline for application development
- Core Infrastructure: Introduce and deliver core technologies for our distributed architecture, with an emphasis on reliability and scalability
- Agentic AI: Integrate supervised and autonomous agents into GxP-validated workflows, ensuring decisions remain traceable and transparent
- Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to size and align designs with business and industry goals
- Hands-on Engineering: Code agentically and manually, maintaining deep technical ownership as both a designer and programmer
- Engineering Maturity: A career-spanning track record (typically 10+ years) of building complex systems. You are deeply technical and hands-on. We value insight gained from observing the long-term consequences of architectural decisions
- Problem Solving: You possess strong algorithmic intuition, a deep understanding of data structures, and mastery of design patterns
- Programming Languages: Expert-level proficiency in Java (or an equivalent statically typed language) and solid JavaScript skills are required. Experience with TypeScript and the Spring ecosystem is highly valued, while Python experience is beneficial
- API-First Design: Accomplished with contract-driven development, you recognize that an API is both a commitment to clients and a constraint on future development. You understand that clear APIs and documentation are the foundation for implementing autonomous AI agents
- Data Architecture: Strong experience in relational databases, schema design, index optimization, and query planning. Experience with full-text search (Solr, Lucene) and vector databases is a significant plus
- Enterprise Patterns: Extensive experience architecting high-scale, multi-tenant platforms. Deep familiarity with enterprise authorization patterns, internationalization, and global date/time management. You have experience designing extensible schemas and pluggable code frameworks for client-specific customization
- Distributed Systems: Experience in architecting event-driven architectures and asynchronous workflows. Highly proficient in distributed systems, including techniques to manage concurrency and consistency. You understand the many tradeoffs of a microservice architecture
- Operational Systems: Experience in architecting for cloud (AWS) and containerized environments (Kubernetes). Demonstrated ability to coordinate with DevOps and SRE teams to ensure seamless testing, deployment, and observability across the SDLC. Experience in production debugging and mission-critical system maintenance
- Agentic Development: Experience in AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to drive engineering velocity while maintaining professional code quality. Preferably, you have introduced agentic development workflows and driven AI adoption across an organization. Experience delivering autonomous agents as product features is highly desirable
- Mentorship Impact: A proven track record of elevating engineers and teams. You have mentored individuals through design challenges and established quality and coding standards that improved the collective output of your organization
- Work Authorization: Unrestricted right to work in the United States is required. Veeva will not provide visa sponsorship at this time
- Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
- Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
- Retirement programs
- 1% charitable giving program
- Base pay: $180,000 - $300,000
- The salary range listed here has been provided to comply with local regulations and represents a potential base salary range for this role. Please note that actual salaries may vary within the range above or below, depending on experience and location. We look at compensation for each individual and base our offer on your unique qualifications, experience, and expected contributions.

Work Where It’s Best for You
Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It’s about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.
Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.
We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We’re investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.
Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.
Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.
When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.
Work at Veeva. Work where it’s best for you.
A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.
Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.
What sets us apart
In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).
Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.
Veeva’s public benefit purpose is to help make the industries we serve more productive and create high-quality employment opportunities.

At Veeva, we believe in giving back. Veeva’s support for charitable causes is entirely employee driven because we think giving is personal and should be directed by the individual. With our 1% Veeva Giving program, each employee receives an amount equivalent to 1% of their base salary annually to support the non-profit(s) of their choice. We don’t dictate favored corporate causes or ask employees to donate to specific non-profits. We never support a charitable cause in exchange for commercial advantage or preferential treatment.
Veeva’s core values — do the right thing, customer success, employee success, and speed — guide our decision making and define our culture. Doing the right thing means that we are concerned about more than just financial success and return to shareholders. We recognize a responsibility to customers, employees, environment, and society.As individuals, we pride ourselves on being good people who are honest, fair, and direct. We treat others with respect. As a company, we strive to be a good corporate citizen, a positive force in the business community, active in our communities, and an example to others.
Our equity program is designed to enable the vast majority of our employees to participate. Our unique approach to awarding equity grants allows our employees to be shareholders so they can benefit financially in the company’s growth.
Veeva has taken a strong stance against the use of non-compete agreements that can limit employee opportunities. We do not require our employees to sign non-compete agreements, and we have taken legal action to fight the unfair use of these agreements by other companies because we believe such agreements limit an employee’s fundamental right to work where they choose. We believe in our people and want them to be successful here at Veeva or wherever their careers take them.
