Remote SAS Programmer (CDISC Standards)

Why This Role Could Be a Game-Changer for You

Picture this—you’ve got your coffee, your favorite playlist in the background, and you’re knee-deep in a dataset that could actually change lives. You’re not just pushing out code—you’re shaping how trial results are understood, speeding up drug approvals, and helping patients get treatments sooner. Here, you’re more than the SAS programmer—you’re the person who takes numbers and turns them into a story the FDA can trust. Working with CDISC standards keeps your work sharp, consistent, and rock solid. We know remote work can sometimes feel isolating. That’s why we keep it warm and connected—quick chats on Slack, weekly face-to-face check-ins, and our “Data & Donuts” Fridays where we swap laughs along with insights.

A Glimpse Into Your Day

Some mornings, you’ll kick things off by troubleshooting an SDTM mapping puzzle with a teammate. Other times, you’ll lose yourself in building a macro that shaves hours off a recurring task. There’ll be days you’re reviewing a colleague’s code, spotting a neat way to simplify it. Your time will go into:

• Writing and validating SAS programs to transform raw clinical data into CDISC SDTM and ADaM datasets.
• Producing tables, listings, and figures (TLFs) that are clear, accurate, and submission-ready.
• Hunting down and fixing data quirks—sometimes a quick fix, sometimes a detective mission.
• Teaming up with data managers, statisticians, and fellow programmers—yes, remote teamwork works beautifully here.

We all hit snags—a macro that refuses to run, a dataset that doesn’t align. But you’ll never be stuck alone. The team’s just a quick screen-share away.

How Your Work Will Matter

What you create won’t be hidden in a folder—it’s the backbone of clinical submissions. Every line of SAS code, every validation, every careful double-check helps build regulator confidence. Here’s what that means:

• A polished SDTM dataset can reduce questions from the FDA.
• Smartly designed ADaM datasets make analysis faster and cleaner.
• Consistent, readable outputs give medical teams the whole picture.

We’ve had moments when catching a minor inconsistency avoided weeks of delays. That’s the level of impact you’ll have.

The Tools You’ll Work With

Of course, SAS is at the center, but we make sure you’ve got the extras that make life easier:

• SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya for programming and analysis.
• Git for version control—keeps our code neat and traceable.
• Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems for pulling source data.
• Our in-house macros and scripts save time and clicks.

And if you’ve got ideas for new tools or processes, we want to hear them.

Skills That Help You Shine

We care about real capability, not just checking boxes. You’ll thrive if you bring:

• Proven SAS programming skills in the clinical research space.
• Strong CDISC SDTM and ADaM know-how—rules plus the “real world” side.
• A sharp eye for detail—catching when something’s off before it snowballs.
• An easygoing, collaborative approach.

And curiosity? It’s a big plus. Data often has stories hidden under the surface—it’s about wanting to dig until you find them.

How We Do Remote

We’re not about endless video calls. Most days, you’ll have long stretches to focus. We use chat for quick back-and-forth, shared docs for collaboration, and hop on calls only when it helps. We trust you to manage your time. Early riser or late starter—it’s about getting things done. Need to step away mid-morning? Go for it. We also protect your off-hours. No late-night pings, no weekend work unless it’s genuinely urgent.

Learning and Growing

We invest in you staying sharp:

• Access to CDISC training and resources.
• A platform to share new macro ideas.
• Group problem-solving sessions.
• Paths to senior or lead roles if that’s your goal.

We’ve seen folks grow from mid-level programmers to leading multi-study submissions in just a couple of years.

How We See Success

It’s not just “code runs without errors.” We value:

• Consistent, accurate outputs.
• Spotting and solving issues before they escalate.
• Sharing what you know.
• Adapting to new tools and changes.

And yes—we celebrate wins, whether it’s a flawless validation or a macro that frees up a whole afternoon.

Our Team Vibe

We may be remote, but we’re close-knit. We share workspace snapshots, laugh over dataset name jokes, and make a big deal of birthdays. We’ve got experience across big pharma, CROs, and niche biotechs—someone’s always got insight for whatever challenge pops up. We even crown a “Data Detective of the Month” for brilliant catches and clever fixes. It’s fun, and it keeps everyone sharp.

Is This You?

If you enjoy working independently but value having a team ready to back you up, this will fit like a glove. You’ll have space to focus, plus a support system when you need it. If clean, compliant datasets make you happy and you take pride in writing clear, reliable SAS code, you’ll love it here.

What’s in It for You

This role pays $74,000 annually with room to grow. Plus:

• Flexible hours.
• Paid time off that’s truly encouraged.
• Training budget for your development.
• A positive, respectful remote culture.

We’ve heard more than once that this is the first place where people feel guilt-free taking a day off. That’s how it should be.

Ready to Dive In?

If this sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d be excited to connect. SAS programming here is about more than just code—it’s about trust, accuracy, and telling the real story of the study. Bring your skills, your attention to detail, and your curiosity—we’re ready for you.
