Work in the Data Analytics team of a leading Healthcare SAAS company developing ML based applications on the Cloud, with Kubernetes and Python.


This leading, remote-first healthcare data science/bio-informatics client have put everything in place to ensure their culture and environment at the very least matches, and in many areas exceeds, their competitors. Innovation isn’t just about technology and product, it’s about listening to your staff and being attentive to their physical, mental and intellectual needs.


What is in it for you:

  • They have successfully implemented a condensed, 9-in-10 working fortnight, with every Friday given off without any reduction in earnings. This has been hugely successful for the company, with many enjoying the extra day off with family, to explore personal projects, or simply unwind in their own space. This is a huge perk that cannot be understated.
  • Fully remote work within the UK - they don’t have any offices – so they’ll never renege on this
  • £500 per annum personal training budget for every staff member regardless of position, seniority, or team
  • Private healthcare for you and your family (mental health, physical health, gym, spa, etc.)
  • Generous Pension; free flu vaccines; enhanced maternity & paternity pay
  • Competitive salary


The company:

  • No wonder they have one of the best Glassdoor profiles going, can demonstrate extraordinary staff retention and longevity, and are responsible for one of Europe’s most innovative data science healthcare platforms.
  • Their Azure-hosted machine learning platform fosters R+D and collaboration between people from all areas of healthcare, across the globe. It underpins ground-breaking research into disease prevention, with a particular track record in supporting such research around Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer’s.


The role:

  • As a Software Engineer, you’ll get to join a small, focused delivery team working on data workflow and processing technologies
  • You'll be key in determining architectural and design decisions, supporting junior team members, writing fantastic code, ensuring it's all fully tested, and collaborating with the DevOps and platform teams to ensure it's all released correctly via their advanced CI/CD infrastructure.
  • If you have experience in developing sophisticated, modern, cloud-based software, and are potentially considering making a step up into a senior level, this software engineering role is perfectly set up to provide you with that career progression.


To be considered you will have experience in:

  • Python- this team works predominantly in Python
  • Experience in Data Engineer or Machine Learning
  • Azure and Azure DevOps
  • Kubernetes
  • Linux/Unix
  • Ruby- preference for those with knowledge of Ruby


Their process is well-regarded and provides a two-way street to learn about each other and fully determine the right "fit":

  • Their Head of HR will speak with you initially about culture, environment and values
  • You will then have a fun and engaging take-home intended to take up little time but offer an interesting challenge
  • This will then be discussed in a technical interview
  • Finally, you will meet with Senior Leadership for a "welcome to the team" type chat


With excellent career opportunities that can be mapped out, to the salary and benefits on offer this really is a great role that will challenge you but also give you an opportunity to showcase your skills and what your can offer.

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

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.

In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.
