About the role

As a Database Developer at Avania, you will play a key role in strengthening our clinical data management and database programming capability, supporting the delivery of high-quality studies across a range of therapeutic areas and clients. This role is focused primarily on database development, while also offering the opportunity to contribute to selected clinical data management activities where needed to support study delivery and team collaboration. You will work closely with experienced colleagues to build, configure, and maintain clinical study databases, with a particular emphasis on bringing adaptable technical skills, a practical mindset, and an understanding of the healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or medical device environment. We are open to candidates from junior through senior level, provided they bring the right foundation, learning agility, and motivation to grow within the role. You may work across platforms such as iMedNet or Viedoc, and experience with Rave certification is valued given the wider needs of the team, though it is not essential in every case. This position offers a strong opportunity to develop within Avania by combining technical database programming work with broader exposure to clinical data operations in a collaborative, supportive environment.

What you'll be doing

• Build, configure, test, and maintain clinical study databases in line with study requirements, internal standards, and project timelines

• Support database development activities across platforms such as iMedNet and Viedoc, applying structured and accurate programming practices throughout the study lifecycle

• Contribute to database-related documentation and setup materials, ensuring study builds are clearly recorded and aligned with project expectations

• Collaborate with clinical data management colleagues and other study team members to translate protocol and study requirements into effective database configurations

• Perform updates, enhancements, and change requests to study databases as needed, ensuring changes are implemented carefully and documented appropriately

• Participate in user acceptance testing, validation, and quality checks to help confirm that databases function as intended before and during study use

• Provide practical database expertise to support smooth study delivery, while contributing to selected clinical data management tasks where appropriate

• Bring a flexible, solutions-oriented approach to working across different systems and processes, rather than relying on a single fixed way of working

• Work closely with team members across Avania to help address resource gaps in database programming while supporting continuity on active and upcoming studies
