That’s why we’re not just transforming cancer care-we’re changing lives.\nWe introduced precision medicine to the world and built an industry around the idea that every patient deserves answers as unique as their DNA. Backed by cutting-edge molecular science and AI, we ask ourselves every day:“What would I do if this patient were my mom?”That question drives everything we do.\nBut our mission doesn’t stop with cancer. We're pushing the frontiers of medicine and leading a revolution in healthcare-driven by innovation, compassion, and purpose.\nJoin us in our mission to improve the human condition across multiple diseases. If you're passionate about meaningful work and want to be part of something bigger than yourself, Caris is where your impact begins.\nPosition Summary\nCaris Life Sciences serves hundreds of thousands of molecular cases a year and continues to grow at double-digit rates. Its molecular, imaging, and clinical-outcomes data support software that helps ensure a cancer patient's report is right, complete, and on time.\nThe Software Engineer, Clinical Software Products contributes engineering work across Caris's clinical application portfolio: product delivery, reliability, and incremental modernization of the production systems that support regulated clinical workflows.\nThis assignment supports the case-management and order-intake platform: the order front door and case-lifecycle services every case runs through on its way to a report. Engineers deliver features and integrations across an actively modernizing platform, with emphasis on data integrity, controlled change, and order-to-report throughput.\nThe engineering environment supports advanced AI coding assistants and agentic workflows across design, implementation, and test generation. Characterization tests and golden-master replay validation provide executable evidence. Onboarding is harness-first: the engineer builds or extends characterization tests to capture current behavior as repeatable validation evidence.\nDelivery runs on CI/CD, automated testing, application-level observability, and risk-based release governance aligned with current FDA Computer Software Assurance guidance. Representative technologies across the portfolio include Java, TypeScript, browser-based application frameworks, server-side JavaScript, and selected enterprise Java components. The interview process covers the specific assignment and technology stack.\nReporting to an Engineering Manager or Senior Engineering Manager within Clinical Software Engineering, this individual contributor builds and maintains clinical software applications governed by SOX financial controls and FDA regulatory requirements. The role contributes to technical delivery on an assigned product team and upholds the engineering and compliance standards those systems require.\nLocation: Irving, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth), on-site.\nJob Responsibilities\nDesign, implement, and maintain features and components across Caris's clinical software platforms: well-structured, testable, documented code that holds up in a regulated production environment.\nContribute to design and architecture discussions, understanding the technical options and trade-offs that inform the team's decisions.\nGive and receive peer code review, upholding code-quality standards and surfacing issues that could affect system correctness, performance, or compliance.\nWork with product management to clarify requirements, understand technical constraints, and estimate backlog items.\nHelp maintain the technical record: design documents, architecture decision records, and operational runbooks that meet SOX and FDA change-control obligations.\nInstrument, monitor, and support production systems; participate in incident response and root-cause analysis for production issues.\nBuild automated test coverage across unit, integration, and end-to-end levels as first-class engineering work.\nAutomate the recurring engineering and operational work that delivery turns up: repeated manual steps become scripted, reviewed automation, not standing process.\nParticipate in pair programming and structured knowledge sharing with peers, escalating to senior engineers on complex architectural or compliance questions.\nIdentify technical-debt and reliability concerns and propose and carry out remediation work that improves system maintainability or compliance posture.\nWork AI-first: use AI coding assistants and agentic workflows as daily practice across design, implementation, and test generation, with peer and engineering review as the quality gate.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\n3+ years of professional software engineering experience building and maintaining production software systems.\nHands-on experience across the full SDLC in a team setting: requirements refinement, design, implementation, testing, and release.\nA track record of writing and maintaining automated tests for production software, at the unit, integration, or end-to-end level.\nWorking proficiency in code review and in applying engineering standards to shared codebases.\nHands-on experience with AI coding assistants and agentic development workflows in real engineering work.\nProficient in Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Word, Excel, Outlook, and general working knowledge of Internet for business use.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in healthcare, clinical laboratory, diagnostics, or life sciences software environments.\nFamiliarity with agile delivery frameworks and the tooling around them.\nExposure to cloud-native application development and deployment patterns.\nInterest in growing into technical design and architecture discussions, with the ability to explain ideas clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.\nWillingness to participate in pair programming, knowledge sharing, or structured peer learning.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills applied to complex, regulated production systems.\nExperience in environments governed by FDA requirements, SOX controls, CLIA, or HIPAA.
