About Us

We’re a pioneering health tech company on a mission to revolutionise the way we all understand and support our health. Our mission is simple: to help people, and those who care for them, make better

decisions that lead to longer, fuller lives.

We focus on the common diseases that affect billions, the ones that put the greatest strain on our healthcare systems. Each person is unique, and by decoding the insights in our DNA, we’re building cutting-edge tools and platforms that enable truly personalised medicine. From prevention and early screening, to diagnosis, treatment, and even the development of new medicines – there is so much more to discover and build to support people at each step of their healthcare journey. With our leading science and brilliant partners, we can make healthcare smarter, more precise, and more personal. Our vision is bold: a world where everyone benefits from genomics.

If you’re inspired by the potential of cutting-edge science and technology – and want to have a real impact on the future of healthcare – we’d love to hear from you.

A Day in the Life

You will work as part of a small team of experts in human genetics, data science and software engineering that build the platform at the core of our work in Life Sciences to derive new insights into human biology and help guide drug development towards safer and more efficacious drug targets. Your involvement in the various stages of development (methodology, software engineering, analysis) will reflect your personal balance of computational and scientific proficiencies.

You'll leverage your coding expertise and combine it with your background in Research Science to refine and enhance the methods and prototypes developed by the science team. You will implement these solutions in a manner that is robust and highly scalable.

What You Will Need

• The ability to write high-quality code in Python using modern software development practices.
• A strong quantitative background in a scientific field, alongside the ability to analyse large-scale data sets in a scientific context.
• Experience running tools and workflows on a Linux-based high-performance computing (HPC) environment
  
  

Good to have

• Experience in the application of novel statistical methods and/or experience with statistical programming languages such as R
• Knowledge of common practices for automated testing, building and deployment of software packages
• Direct background in the handling of genetic data, or other large scale biological data and the use of associated bioinformatics tools and workflows
• Experience of working in Trusted Research Environments (e.g., DNAnexus)
  
  

So what's in it for you?

• Salaries: Our salaries are externally benchmarked annually to ensure you receive compensation that aligns with the market.
• Generous Holiday Allowance: 25 days of annual leave, an additional 3-day company shutdown at the end of the year, plus bank holidays. More time for you to unwind and enjoy.
