* Position Overview: *
We are looking for talented programmers to create secure and functional code for the different needs of our health economics and modelling unit within Evidera. Among those is to support our in-house developed modelling applications EviDICE (Excel/VBA) and ROLL (Excel/Microsoft .NET C#).

* Development of adequate documentation of EviDICE and ROLL platforms
* Support and troubleshooting for EviDICE and ROLL platforms
*Qualifications:*
