Software Engineer

About ODAIA
ODAIA (noun) · o·da·ia | oh-day-yeah: an Ancient Greek word referring to ōdē, the word for song and the root of melody, harmony, and orchestra. We chose it deliberately: the best commercial intelligence doesn’t just inform, it orchestrates.

ODAIA delivers AI-powered commercial intelligence for life sciences, unifying data, accelerating results, and helping commercial teams deepen engagement to enhance care for providers and patients. Our AI platform transforms complex data into predictive, personalized insights, enabling commercial leaders to understand their customers, anticipate prescribing behaviors, and make the informed, strategic decisions that bring therapies to patients faster.

Our Mission
Reducing patients’ time to therapy by facilitating meaningful interactions with healthcare providers, through human-centric software powered by AI.

We’re also on a mission to build an innovative, diverse, and ego-free business, where trust, innovation and ownership are valued. You’re on a mission too? We’re here for it. We put an emphasis on career development for our employees, and the opportunities to grow are extensive.

What’s on Offer

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our engineering team. You’ll work across the full stack to build and ship features that directly impact how pharma commercial teams engage with healthcare providers. You’ll work closely with senior engineers, product, and design to turn well-scoped requirements into shipped, working software, while growing your ownership over time.

How we build: We work AI-first. Coding agents like Claude Code do a large share of the hands-on implementation, and engineers spend their time on problem framing, direction, review, and integration. You stay fully accountable for what ships. We want someone who is already moving beyond prompting a single agent: you orchestrate agents across multiple tasks and set up codebases so agents can do good work in them.

Where we’re headed: We want engineers who build real expertise in the systems they work on and use it to find new ways to change how the industry works.

Please include a cover letter with your application. Describe a project where you used AI coding agents to deliver a significant part of the work. Tell us what you delegated, how you reviewed the output, and where you chose not to rely on the tool.

What You Will Do

• Own well-defined product capabilities end-to-end, from understanding the user problem through implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Work AI-first: use Claude Code and other coding agents across the development lifecycle, orchestrate agents across multiple tasks, structure codebases so agents work well in them, and review and integrate their output.
• Build accessible, responsive React and TypeScript experiences, including data-rich workflows and interfaces that handle large data sets.
• Design and maintain APIs and backend services that connect ODAIA’s data, ML, analytics, and agentic capabilities to customer-facing products.
• Build, deploy, and operate applications on AWS and Kubernetes, working across Snowflake, PostgreSQL, third-party APIs, and embedded engines like DuckDB and DataFusion.
• Ship incrementally with automated testing, CI, feature flags, and instrumentation that shows how features behave in production.
• Take part in technical design, code review, and architecture discussions: assess designs, flag risks and trade-offs early, and propose improvements.
• Work with product, design, and ML engineering, build life sciences expertise, and bring ideas that push the product forward.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of professional software development experience, with ownership across frontend and backend systems.
• Hands-on experience using coding agents as a primary way of building: giving clear context, directing work across multiple tasks, reviewing multi-file changes, catching bad assumptions, and owning the final result.
• Strong React and TypeScript, including browser fundamentals, state management, accessibility, and performance with large data sets and dashboards.
• Experience building and operating APIs or backend services in Python, TypeScript, or a comparable technology, including integrating third-party APIs with resilient handling of rate limits, retries, and failures.
• Strong fundamentals: modular design, automated testing, maintainable code, and the judgment to tell a good system from a weak one and explain why. A working understanding of distributed systems concepts such as caching, queues, and asynchronous processing.
• Clear communication, including surfacing ambiguity and explaining trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Curiosity, low ego, and a habit of picking up new tools, seeking feedback, and adapting as priorities change.

What We Offer
Values-based culture:

• We Ignite Innovation, Own It, and Stand Together

AI-native environment

• At ODAIA, we don’t just deliver AI, we live it. We use AI and agentic automation to 10x our efficiency and impact, encouraging constant curiosity in leveraging and integrating AI

Comprehensive rewards
