Come join the New Markets team for a chance to contribute and leave a lasting impact on this new initiative and Veeva as a whole.

The Role

We're looking for a Principal Front-End Engineer to join our enterprise-platform team at an early stage. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with other principal engineers, you'll take ownership of key components of our framework and application. You'll also help guide our processes and culture for years to come. If shaping a greenfield codebase alongside experienced peers sounds energizing, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Drive architecture and development for key front-end subsystems like administration, workflow, and reporting, taking them from early concepts to mature, scalable solutions
• Co-author our custom UI framework, creating the foundational tools and documentation that will empower application and customer engineering teams to build faster and more consistently
• Mentor engineers across the team, sharing deep expertise in TypeScript and React and raising our front-end craft
• Champion a culture of quality by implementing and overseeing a comprehensive testing strategy, ensuring we ship robust, low-drama features
• Partner with product and design to turn complex business needs into elegant, practical user experiences on our new enterprise platform

REQUIREMENTS | We're looking for talented engineers who meet the following requirements:

• Expert-level proficiency with modern front-end technologies, including JavaScript, CSS, TypeScript, and React
• Deep knowledge of core browser APIs, including data storage (local/session/cookies), iframes, and web workers
• Hands-on experience with modern front-end build tooling (e.g., Vite, ESBuild, Rollup, Webpack)
• Track record of designing, building, and maintaining frameworks or libraries for other engineers
• History of long-term commitment to a product, having guided it from its initial design to a mature, successful state
• Ability to drive technical strategy while translating high-level business goals into concrete engineering outcomes
• Success in a fast-paced, greenfield environment, acting as a key partner in defining both product and culture
• Must be located in PST or MST

Nice to Have

• Experience architecting and delivering complex, scalable features for enterprise-grade, multi-tenant SaaS applications
• Exposure to full stack development, especially in Rust
• Familiarity with modern DevOps practices and tools, including hands-on experience with designing or maintaining CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, testing, and deployment

THE PROCESS | Our process is different than most. It is designed to be fast, efficient and respectful. Here are the steps:

• You submit your resume and have a brief introduction with a Senior Engineering Leader
• You'll then take a short personality assessment
• Within one week we will notify you via email if we would like to go to the next step or not
• The next step is a single technical interview with a member of our tech evaluation team
• If the technical is passed, you will move forward to a more personal interview with a Senior Engineering Leader
• Within one week of this step, we will give you an offer, or let you know that we do not wish to move forward

Perks & Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
• Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
• Retirement programs
• 1% charitable giving program

Compensation

• Base pay: $150,000 - $300,000
• The salary range listed here has been provided to comply with local regulations and represents a potential base salary range for this role. Please note that actual salaries may vary within the range above or below, depending on experience and location. We look at compensation for each individual and base our offer on your unique qualifications, experience, and expected contributions.

Work Where It's Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It's about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We're investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it's best for you.

A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation's conduct-including customers, employees, and the community-in addition to shareholders' interests.

Public Benefit Corporation

In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation's conduct-including customers, employees, and the community-in addition to shareholders' interests.

Veeva's public benefit purpose is to help make the industries we serve more productive and create high-quality employment opportunities.

Veeva Giving

At Veeva, we believe in giving back. Veeva's support for charitable causes is entirely employee driven because we think giving is personal and should be directed by the individual. With our 1% Veeva Giving program, each employee receives an amount equivalent to 1% of their base salary annually to support the non-profit(s) of their choice. We don't dictate favored corporate causes or ask employees to donate to specific non-profits. We never support a charitable cause in exchange for commercial advantage or preferential treatment.

Corporate Citizenship

Veeva's core values - do the right thing, customer success, employee success, and speed - guide our decision making and define our culture. Doing the right thing means that we are concerned about more than just financial success and return to shareholders. We recognize a responsibility to customers, employees, environment, and society.As individuals, we pride ourselves on being good people who are honest, fair, and direct. We treat others with respect. As a company, we strive to be a good corporate citizen, a positive force in the business community, active in our communities, and an example to others.

Employees are Shareholders

Our equity program is designed to enable the vast majority of our employees to participate. Our unique approach to awarding equity grants allows our employees to be shareholders so they can benefit financially in the company's growth.

Non-Competes

Veeva has taken a strong stance against the use of non-compete agreements that can limit employee opportunities. We do not require our employees to sign non-compete agreements, and we have taken legal action to fight the unfair use of these agreements by other companies because we believe such agreements limit an employee's fundamental right to work where they choose. We believe in our people and want them to be successful here at Veeva or wherever their careers take them.
