Software Engineer - UK Remote


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.

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.
