Where they hire

Bangalore is the largest single place, with about 150 roles. Many others are in the United States, Budapest, Shanghai, Singapore, Sofia, Brno, and Manila. Each posting says whether it is fully onsite, hybrid, or fully remote; clinical research roles in Latin America are often remote. Many United States postings say the role is for people who need no sponsorship.

Each gives the experience in years, from up to one year for a Scientist I to five years for a field service engineer. Good written and spoken communication, problem solving, and teamwork come up in almost every posting. Lab roles ask for instrument skills such as LCMS and HPLC.
