Job Description

Are you a technically minded individual who enjoys collaborating with others and solving problems?

About the Role

This is a unique opportunity to join Perspectum’s Engineering team to help shape the design of cutting-edge software solutions that meet both business and regulatory demands. Key duties include:

1. Architecting requirements through identification, refinement, design, and delivery
2. Analysing the solutions once built
3. Acting as a liaison between Engineering and other business units to ensure technical solutions align with business objectives.

This role’s primary responsibility is to understand technical requirements, communicate effectively, and build relationships across the business to ensure the most effective outcomes. Please note this is not a coding-heavy role. If you are seeking hands-on programming work, please consider applying for one of our Software Engineer roles when available instead.

About You

Whether you have a background in Computer Engineering, Science, Life Sciences, or another STEM field, what matters most is your ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve problems collaboratively. With a technical mindset, you will enjoy liaising with a variety of stakeholders across the business, testing boundaries through extensive questioning, and influencing decision-making.

We are ideally looking for someone who:

• Is degree educated or has equivalent work experience
• Has an awareness or understanding of AWS, Python, Java, or C++, etc. (you do not need to be an expert!)
• Understands regulatory requirements relating to a highly regulated field
• Can confidently engage with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Due to the highly collaborative and interactive nature of this opportunity, we require the successful individual to be in our Oxford office 4 to 5 days per week.
