Software Engineer

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.
