Software Engineer - UK Remote

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 key feature development, devops, and testing, exploring new areas of cloud computing, AI/ML, and platform engineering.

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

JavaScript

Python - APIs built in Python

Cloud Computing (Azure)

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.

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.
