Descripción del empleo

Our Future Healthis an ambitious collaboration between the public, charity and private sectors, designed tohelp people live healthier lives for longer through better prevention, earlierdetectionand improved treatment of diseases. We will speed up the discovery of new methods of early disease detection, and the evaluation of new diagnostic tools, to helpidentifyand treat diseases early,when outcomes are usually better. With over 2.8M volunteers across the UK, we're now the world's biggest health research programme of its kind, and our volunteer group is also more diverse than other, similar health research programmes.

Technology and data are central to our mission. Our systems power web sites, clinics across the UK, secure analytics and research systems, pipelines that process highly sensitive health and genetic data, and we are continuing to grow our engineering capability to support this ambition.

We are hiring a backend leaning full-stack focused Senior Software Engineer to join our Research Enablement squad. This squad sits on the intersection of the Trusted Research Environment (TRE) and our bespoke security tooling and assets. Our squad vision is to create a secure, trusted and state of the art research environment to empower Researchers with their health research. We work closely with some of our internal operational teams as well as external partners, and are solving lots of rare but exciting problems.

Our engineers are full-stack, handling frontend, backend and infrastructure in a total ownership model - squads build and run it. The work is usually more back-end leaning involving event driven services, APIs and bespoke security checks, but front-end work is also a critical part of the overall service.

If you are passionate about your work, develop consistently high-quality code, and are adept at identifying, preventing, and troubleshooting problems we would love to hear from you.

This role will be fully hybrid with the expectation we get together in our Holborn, London office at least once per month.
