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.

Responsibilities include:
• Build and manage python services & packages used by the AI research teams.
• Contribute code to data engineering & platform projects.
• Work with AI and data engineers to develop efficient processes for accessing and handle increasing volumes of data.
• Collaborate with the AI & data teams to maintain a high bar for quality in a fast-paced, iterative environment

Must Haves
• BSc or MSc in relevant academic field plus 3-5 years professional experience
• Experience delivering and maintaining production code
• Strong experience with Python, common packages and best practices for delivering high quality code
• Familiarity with common software architecture patterns and system design
• Awareness of common DevOps tools and practices (CI/CD, Docker)

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.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.

How to Get a Better AI Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Whether part of a wider company restructuring, budget cuts, or market shifts in tech, many skilled professionals in the AI industry have recently found themselves unexpectedly jobless. But while redundancy brings immediate financial and emotional stress, it can also be a powerful catalyst for career growth. In the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence, where new roles and specialisms emerge constantly, bouncing back stronger is not only possible—it’s likely. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step action plan for turning redundancy into your next big opportunity. From managing the shock to targeting better AI jobs, updating your CV, and approaching recruiters the smart way, we’ll help you move from setback to comeback.
