  • Believe in good engineering practices and uphold high coding standards But it’s more than that - Medidata engineers, contribute to the London engineering tech community at meet-ups, run social events internally, enjoy eating pizza, shoot plenty of pool and irritatingly enjoy the top rankings on Medidata Fifa Football!

Requirements:

  • Technical Experience:
