Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
In this role, you will lead end-to-end software delivery—spanning requirement analysis, high-level/low-level design (HLD/LLD), front-end/back-end implementation, and cloud deployment. A core requirement for this position is a strong track record of designing robust solutions for global Tier-1 enterprises, specifically with extensive hands-on experience delivering digital platforms, brand solutions, and core architectures for large pharmaceutical and life sciences clients.
Key Responsibilities
- Pharma & Enterprise Delivery: Serve as a primary technical architect and lead for global enterprise accounts, specifically delivering solutions across EMEA and APAC regions for top-tier pharmaceutical brands (e.g., J&J).
- System Architecture & Design: Produce detailed High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) documentation, defining API contracts and system architectures for complex digital platforms.
- Full-Stack Software Engineering: Build and maintain scalable, high-performing web applications using PHP frameworks (Laravel, Drupal, WordPress), JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React, Vue.js, Next.js), and Python.
- Modernization & Migrations: Lead architectural transformations, including moving legacy monolithic systems (e.g.,.NET) to modern headless/decoupled architectures (React + REST APIs) and cloud migrations (Azure).
- AI & RAG Integration: Architect and prototype intelligent features leveraging generative AI models (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) via agentic frameworks (LangGraph), multi-agent debate pipelines, and structured RAG/vector retrieval (PostGIS, ChromaDB).
- Performance & SLA Optimization: Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues within 1–2 hours, enforcing high SLA standards (99% uptime) while optimizing platform load times and operational costs.
- DevOps & CI/CD: Establish robust automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Docker, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Vercel).
- Stakeholder Management: Collaborate closely with product managers, senior leadership, and enterprise client stakeholders to translate complex business requirements into clear technical deliverables.
