About the Role

A VC-backed biotech startup in London is looking for a senior-level epidemiologist / RWE programmer with strong coding skills to join their growing medical function.

You’ll be part of a company that’s challenging the traditional drug development model - building internal tools, partnering with biopharma teams, and delivering strategic, data-led solutions across the lifecycle of a development programme.

This is a hands-on, hybrid role that combines scientific depth with software fluency. Ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of real-world evidence, clinical data, and high-impact product development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and analyse non-interventional studies, including regulatory-grade and exploratory projects
• Collaborate with engineering to build internal tools that support and scale RWE applications
• Engage with external partners to guide RWE strategy and deliver high-quality outputs
• Translate complex data into actionable insights for internal stakeholders and regulators
• Lead protocol and SAP development, contribute to CSRs and publication strategy
• Apply modern causal inference techniques to support study validity and robustness

Ideal Candidate

• MSc/PhD in Epidemiology, Pharmacoepidemiology or a science-based subject (biochemistry etc)
• Strong coding skills in SQL plus R or Python (this is non-negotiable)
• Experience delivering end-to-end observational studies using real-world datasets
• Proficient in study design, regulatory writing (protocols, SAPs, TFLs, CSRs)
• Knowledge of coding systems (ICD, SNOMED, GPI, HCPCS) and RWD sources (claims, EHR, registries)
• Familiar with regulatory trends around pragmatic trials, external control arms, and synthetic cohorts
• Skilled in handling and cleaning messy, multimodal data
• Confident using methods such as propensity score matching, IP weighting, and IV analysis
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to distil complex findings for different audiences

Bonus Experience

• Prior work in a startup, biotech or agile CRO
• Experience building tools or reproducible workflows in collaboration with software engineers
• Understanding of product development processes in tech-enabled life sciences companies

This is an opportunity to join a company that’s not just running studies, but building the future of drug development infrastructure.
