Data Scientist | Series A BioTech Startup | £21M+ Raised 💰

📍 Location: London / Remote

💸 Salary: £70,000 – £100,000 + early equity options


About the Company

We’re partnered with a Series A BioTech startup that’s raised over £21 million to revolutionise how data and biology converge to accelerate breakthrough discoveries in life sciences.

Their mission is to harness machine learning, multi-omics data, and AI-driven modelling to unlock new biological insights — driving progress in therapeutics, bioengineering, and sustainable innovation.

Backed by world-class investors and led by a cross-disciplinary founding team of biologists, data scientists, and engineers, this is a chance to join a company defining the next generation of biotech intelligence.


The Role

As a Data Scientist, you’ll be central to developing and deploying advanced models that turn vast biological and experimental datasets into actionable insight.

You’ll work at the intersection of biology, data, and computation — building scalable pipelines, predictive tools, and models that directly guide research, discovery, and decision-making.


Key Responsibilities

Data Science & Modelling

  • Design, train, and optimise machine learning models across multi-omics and experimental datasets.
  • Build predictive frameworks to accelerate discovery and identify high-value biological targets.
  • Ensure model robustness and reproducibility through strong statistical design, data validation, and feature engineering.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with wet-lab scientists, bioinformaticians, and software engineers to bridge experimental and computational workflows.
  • Translate biological questions into data-driven hypotheses and visualise outcomes clearly for all stakeholders.
  • Drive strategic discussions through clear, evidence-based insights and recommendations.

Infrastructure & Tools

  • Develop scalable, automated data pipelines in collaboration with engineering and informatics teams.
  • Champion best practices in data management, version control, and model governance.


About You

Education & Experience

  • MSc or PhD in Data Science, Computational Biology, Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python (NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, PyTorch) or R.
  • Proven experience analysing biological, genomic, or high-dimensional experimental datasets.
  • Familiarity with data visualisation tools (e.g. Plotly, Matplotlib, Tableau) and databases (SQL, PostgreSQL).

Mindset & Attributes

  • Passionate about using data to solve complex biological problems.
  • Excellent communicator who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving startup environment.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, ownership, and working across disciplines.
  • Previous experience in biotech, life sciences, or AI-driven research is highly desirable.


Why Join?

🌱 Mission-Driven Impact – Use your data science expertise to help shape the future of biology and biotechnology.

🚀 High Ownership – Collaborate directly with the founding and scientific leadership team on key R&D initiatives.

💡 Innovation Culture – Operate at the forefront of AI and biology, where experimentation is encouraged and ideas move fast.

📈 Career Growth – Join a rapidly scaling Series A company backed by tier-one investors, with clear pathways for progression.


If this sounds like you, you'll fit right in.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
