IT & Software in Life Sciences Jobs

About IT & Software in Life Sciences roles

Life-science companies run large technology organisations. Software engineers build internal platforms and digital products, cloud and DevOps teams operate infrastructure, and enterprise application teams run systems such as SAP, Salesforce and Workday.

A distinctive part of IT in this industry is regulated software. Systems that touch manufacturing, quality, clinical trials or safety data — such as LIMS, MES and clinical platforms — must be validated and comply with rules like 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP, so documentation and testing practices are more formal than in many other sectors.

Requirements mirror the wider tech market: a computing or engineering degree and hands-on skills in the relevant stack. Experience with validated systems or healthcare data is a plus that helps candidates stand out for these roles.
