Job Description
Job Title: Full-Stack Java Engineer & Configuration Specialist
Location: Preference for local candidates; remote-friendly
Job Type: Full-Time Contract (with potential for Full-Time Employment)
At EmpiraMed, we run clinical trials, longitudinal disease registries, and observational drug studies by collecting real-world data directly from patients, caregivers, and clinics. We’re seeking a Full-Stack Java Engineer who can contribute to both the development of our web-based applications and the operation and evolution of our internal configuration system.
Role Overview
This is a hybrid role, ideal for an engineer who is both a skilled full-stack Java developer and someone comfortable working with a point-and-click configuration interface for setting up our projects. You’ll initially split your time between engineering and configuration responsibilities, with the goal of evolving the configuration system to be more user-friendly and eventually owned by a non-technical user—allowing you to transition into a primarily engineering-focused role.
Key Responsibilities
Configuration System Support & Transition
Learn and utilize EmpiraMed’s proprietary configuration system to support the setup and maintenance of clinical trials.
Collaborate with our current head of configuration, who is transitioning to another role, to ensure a smooth knowledge transfer.
Take ownership of ongoing configuration tasks for new and existing projects.
Enhance the usability and efficiency of the configuration tool, reducing long-term reliance on engineering support.
Full-Stack Web Development
Implement front-end changes to our web application using JSP, JSTL, Bootstrap, and jQuery , based on detailed UI specifications provided by our head of design.
Develop and maintain back-end services and logic using Java to support new and existing front-end functionality.
Optimize and extend the existing configuration system from an engineering perspective, improving performance, maintainability, and user experience.
Qualifications
Required:
Proven experience with Java-based web development (Spring, JSP, JSTL)
Proficiency in front-end technologies: Bootstrap, jQuery, HTML, CSS
Experience working with relational databases such as MySQL
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Willingness to work in a hybrid role involving both programming and configuration responsibilities
Experience with source-code control, preferably subversion
Preferred:
Experience with configuration tools or workflow platforms
Background in clinical trials, health tech, or regulated environments
Ability to work effectively in a remote-first team with occasional local meetups
Additional Details
Position Type: Full-time contract with the intention to transition to full-time employment for the right candidate.
Location: EmpiraMed is a mostly virtual company with all current employees located around metro-west Massachusetts; however, preference will be given to candidates who can collaborate locally when needed.
Company Description
Over our dozen plus years in business, EmpiraMed has developed a patient engagement software platform called the PRO Portal to capture patient reported outcomes (PRO) to better measure what works and what doesn’t work in the real world. Our unique rules-based approach completely automates all patient interactions via the web and any mobile device while seamlessly integrating healthcare personnel patient recruitment and follow-up to execute studies or programs in less time, at lower cost, and with greater flexibility. In a phase II, III, or IV clinical trial, our system captures ePROs and feeds the study EDC system. For observational studies, our platform becomes the EDC housing all study data. These post-market studies typically suffer from poor patient participation so our portal includes novel incentives that have boosted compliance to 3X what’s available today. Using our EMR integration framework with validity analytics, bias inherent in current PRO methods can be made more transparent and minimized. Most of the information we capture will not exist in the clinical record, EMR, clinical trial literature, or claims data but we can tie those sources of information as well as Passive Monitoring Data from wearable devices into one complete view of real world patient experience. In addition to monitoring patients, our real-time, dynamic system can trigger educational content and intervention alerts at any time for any event to directly improve patient care as part of a disease management (DM) quality improvement program. Our customers have included Merck Sharp & Dohme, Biogen, Janssen, Sanofi, United Therapeutics, and Takeda. We also have collaboration agreements in place with numerous healthcare providers, academic medical centers, CROs, AROs, specialty pharmacy providers (SPPs), PBMs, health plans, direct-to-patient outreach companies, biostatistics firms, and epidemiology/health economic research centers.
