Accelerator Software Engineer

Description

You will join a small, self-directed, cross-functional agile team in the Manufacturing & Supply (M&S) Accelerator group, where the work is to get new medicines to market sooner, meet unmet medical needs, and make those medicines affordable worldwide.

The role suits someone who wants wide ownership: shipping working software to production every day and helping build a complete product that solves real problems.

The company is a global healthcare business with a digital and data focus, and this team works with the feel of a startup.
