Careers that Change Lives 
Acquired by Medtronic – the world’s largest medical device company – in 2019, Digital Technology is a part of the Surgical Robotics operating unit. The company was founded by two surgeons to realize the mission of bringing safe and standardized surgical care to patients around the world.
 
Having a strong and proven foundation in innovation, and in particular computer vision and machine learning, Digital Technology is on the frontier of healthcare image and video analysis. The company is beginning to explore possibilities outside of the Operating Room and minimally invasive surgery, where its existing technology is leading the market in terms of cloud-connected, machine-learning solutions. Imaging and video modalities are ubiquitous across healthcare specialties – why should we stop at minimally invasive surgery?
 
A Day in the Life
As a Python Developer working on our internal machine learning platform at Digital Surgery, you will help design, build and maintain solutions that help deliver cutting edge ML products. You will use your skills to build software that allows our ML team to develop rapidly and at scale.
 
Building machine learning solutions are, by their nature complex. At Medtronic, we are committed to developing robust and effective tools to meet these challenges.
 
Responsibilities include:
• Build and manage python packages used by the ML platform & research teams
• Contribute code to data engineering & platform projects
• Work with ML and data engineers to develop efficient processes for accessing and handle increasing volumes of data
• Collaborate with the ML team to maintain a high bar for quality in a fast-paced, iterative environment 

Must Haves
• BSc or MSc in relevant academic field plus 2-3 years professional experience
• Experience delivering and maintaining production quality code in an industry setting
• Strong experience with Python, common packages and best practices for delivering high quality code
• Experience using version control & contributing to production code bases
• Awareness of common DevOps tools and practices (CI/CD, Docker) 
• Knowledge of cloud infrastructure and development (AWS, GCP etc.)

Nice to have
• Experience working with machine learning would be a bonus
• Experience with infrastructure as code tools (such as Terraform).

We Offer
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package to all our employees:
• Flexible working environment
• Annual Incentive Plan % depending on company results
• Pension scheme and group discount on healthcare insurance 
• Training possibilities via Cornerstone/Skills Lab
• Employee Assistance Program and Recognize! (our global recognition program)

Our Commitment
Our unwavering commitment to inclusion, diversity, and equity (ID&E) means zero barriers to opportunity within Medtronic and a culture where all employees belong, are respected, and feel valued for who they are and the life experiences they contribute. We know equity starts beyond our workplace, and we must play a role in addressing systemic inequities in our communities if we hope to have long-term sustainable impact. Anchored in our Mission, we continue to drive ID&E forward both to enhance the well-being of Medtronic employees and to accelerate innovation that brings our lifesaving technologies to more people in more places around the world.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
