The life sciences industry plays a significant role in advancing healthcare and improving the quality of life - in many cases, saving millions of lives globally. At BASE life science, this is the motivation for everything we do, aimed at pushing boundaries, seeking excellence, and making a lasting difference through consulting expertise and data-driven solutions.

Who is BASE life science?

Founded in 2007, BASE life science is a business and technology consulting enterprise working exclusively in the life sciences industry.

From our headquarters in Denmark and offices in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, we serve customers across the globe. With a deep understanding of the life sciences industry, we work hand in hand with customers to identify, develop, and implement strategic initiatives that drive growth, efficiency, and overall success through tailored solutions.

About the role

We are looking for a Software Developer to join our Software Engineering team and help with the development and maintenance of the core software products at BASE as well as defining standards in software development for both us and our colleagues. The team works as a self-governed team with freedom to plan, design and deliver our work based on input from our stakeholders.

We are currently focused on developing Python products related to data migrations and LLM-powered applications, with the expectation that our product portfolio will continue to expand over time. Being in a regulated industry like life science, there is a high focus on product quality and solidity. For that reason, we also work with best practices within testing, static code analysis and other mostly automated practices that can help us ensure the right standards of our software, while still being able to produce new functionality to our portfolio.

As a Software Developer your responsibilities include:

• Participate in the design of new features for software libraries.
• Implement new functionalities in software libraries.
• Develop core modules and components in software projects.
• Develop and maintain tests (unit, integrations, system, etc.).
• Support bug-fixing activities.
• Evaluate, review, and refactor code produced by other colleagues.

We offer this position in Barcelona or Madrid, Spain.

On top of this, you have the following competences:

• Software development using a statically typed language or Python.
• Experience in developing a software repository.
• Experience in testing, debugging and troubleshooting code.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
