Medidata’s doing something that a lot of companies aren’t doing in this space.
Pharmaceutical companies are pretty conservative in the adoption
of technology and we’re bringing them to the 21st century.
I'm Chad Albers, I’m a Software Engineer at Medidata Solutions.
Medidata designs software as a service
for pharmaceutical companies conducting clinical trials.
One of the draws for me in this company was the emphasis and tool sets they use.
For instance, they use a framework called Ruby on Rails.
We follow an agile development philosophy where the software engineers
have a large say in how to implement something.
As a developer you actually have ownership.
Software Engineers are kind of like, sharks, if they stop innovating, like a shark,
if they stop moving or swimming, they die.
That’s why I stay.
It keeps me fresh, it keeps me challenged.
