Remote (Global)
Up to £75,000 + Stock Options, Work Remotely Globally, 25 days holiday, flexible working
Are you a Data Engineer who wants to build something that actually matters?
Not just another pipeline but technology that helps get life-saving treatments to patients faster?
We’re working with a seriously impressive deep-tech business operating at the intersection of AI, data, and healthcare. They’re tackling one of the biggest challenges in medical innovation: how to make clinical trials faster, more accurate, and easier to validate at scale.
This isn’t a standard Data Engineer role. You’ll be working on complex, high-impact systems that turn messy, fragmented clinical trial data into structured, traceable, and AI-ready insights.
🚀 What’s the role really about?
As a Data Engineer, you’ll be building and scaling the data pipelines and analysis engines that sit at the core of the platform. Think less “moving data from A to B” and more “making sense of incredibly complex datasets that drive regulatory decision-making.”
You’ll work across:
- Data pipeline design and optimisation
- Building a Python-based data analysis engine
- Creating custom data validation rules (DSL)
- Deep-diving into bugs and solving complex data issues
- Improving performance and scalability across large datasets
