The Role

We're looking for a data engineer driven by patient impact and facilitating data driven decision making. We're still small, so you'd be the sole engineer focused solely on the data side of things (at least initially).

What You'll Do

Your day-to-day work will be impactful and varied, including:

• Analysing patient data - running queries to generate plots/visualisations and data summaries
• Building an internal data platform to allow non-technical colleagues to self-serve with their data queries
• Working with the UX team to iterate the app design and requirements through data driven decisions
• Coming up with interesting questions to ask about our data to inform product decisions
• Improving our application and data model to capture high quality data
• Exemplifying best practice for medical data storage, security and privacy

You’ll collaborate closely with the rest of the engineering / UX team, work directly with company leadership, and see the impact of your work on real patients.

About You

• You have strong programming skills in Python and its data science ecosystem
• You are a software professional, who knows the difference between research and production code
• You have good mathematical fluency (particularly around probability, statistics and information theory)
• You enjoy working with design and product teams to help shape exceptional products
• You care deeply about users - championing great experience and access to quality clinical care
• You can communicate your work clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• You take initiative and ownership of your work

Bonus Points

Whilst not required, experience in any of these areas will definitely stand out - let us know if you have any!

• Working with medical data (or other sensitive data)
• Creating visual tools (e.g. interactive dashboards) for data exploration by others with good UX
• Good ML fundamentals (e.g. could build a small neural network from scratch)
• Data modelling (and versioning) of complex systems
• Startup experience

What We Offer

• Interesting and challenging work
• In-person working from a beautiful work space in the Cambridgeshire countryside
• An onsite gym
• A digital health subscription of your choice
• Early stage equity with employee-friendly terms (via an EMI scheme)
• Comprehensive medical coverage (including dental and optical) and life insurance
• Optional remote working on Wednesdays, with an annual allowance of 10 extra remote days
• Desk setup allowance for your favourite keyboard / mouse / whatever!
• Regular pulse-checks to help us build a culture we're proud of
• Monthly team BBQs and desserts on Flok
• A fast paced work environment geared towards excellence and professional growth (with annual training budget)
• Top notch specialty tea and coffee
• A chance to have a big impact in a small early stage team making a difference to the lives of people across the UK
