About Relation

Relation is an end-to-end biotech company developing transformational medicines, with technology at our core. Our ambition is to understand human biology in unprecedented ways, discovering therapies to treat some of life’s most devastating diseases. We leverage single-cell multi-omics directly from patient tissue, functional assays, and machine learning to drive disease understanding—from cause to cure.

This year, we embarked on an exciting dual collaboration with GSK to tackle fibrosis and osteoarthritis, while also advancing our own internal osteoporosis programme. By combining our cutting-edge ML capabilities with GSK’s deep expertise in drug discovery, this partnership underscores our commitment to pioneering science and delivering impactful therapies to patients.

We are rapidly scaling our technology and discovery teams, offering a unique opportunity to join one of the most innovative TechBio companies. Be part of our dynamic, interdisciplinary teams, collaborating closely to redefine the boundaries of possibility in drug discovery. Our state-of-the-art wet and dry laboratories, located in the heart of London, provide an exceptional environment to foster interdisciplinarity and turn groundbreaking ideas into impactful therapies for patients.

We are committed to building diverse and inclusive teams. Relation is an equal opportunities employer and does not discriminate on the grounds of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, disability, or age. We cultivate innovation through collaboration, empowering every team member to do their best work and reach their highest potential.

By joining Relation, you will become part of an exceptionally talented team with extraordinary leverage to advance the field of drug discovery. Your work will shape our culture, strategic direction, and, most importantly, impact patients’ lives.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a hands-on IT Support Technician to join our growing team. In this role, you will serve as the first line of support for our employees, ensuring their day-to-day technology works seamlessly.

Crucially, this role offers a clear pathway to grow into IT Operations within a tech-bio environment. You will gain hands-on experience in our Data Centre (supporting HPC clusters) and within our wet labs (integrating sequencing and imaging instruments). If you are a tinkerer who enjoys networking, hardware, and learning how to support scientific discovery, this role is for you.

Your Responsibilities

  • Core IT & Desktop Support

    • User Support:
      Serve as the primary point of contact for hardware and software issues across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.

    • Onboarding:
      Configure laptops, accounts, and access rights for new hires, ensuring a smooth "Day 1" experience.

    • SaaS Administration:
      Manage user accounts and permissions across platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, and Atlassian (Jira/Confluence).

    • Asset Management:
      Maintain an up-to-date inventory of hardware, peripherals, and software licences.

  • Networking & Infrastructure

    • Connectivity:
      Troubleshoot office Wi-Fi, LAN, and VPN connectivity issues.

    • Maintenance:
      Assist with patching and maintaining network switches, firewalls, and wireless access points.

    • Structured Cabling:
      Manage cabling within the office and server rooms to ensure organisation, reliability, and functionality.

    • Growth Areas: Data Centre & Laboratory Operations

    • Partner with scientists to network specialised equipment (e.g., DNA sequencers, microscopes, and liquid handlers).

    • Assist with “racking and stacking” servers, replacing drives, and managing physical hardware within our Data Centre.

    • Learn basic Linux administration to help troubleshoot compute nodes and storage servers.

    Professionally, You Have

    • 1–3 years of experience in an IT Support or Help Desk role.

    • Strong proficiency in troubleshooting Windows and macOS systems, and comfort using basic command-line tools.

    • An understanding of networking fundamentals (IP addressing, DNS, DHCP, and physical connectivity).

    • Hands-on hardware aptitude (e.g., replacing RAM, managing cables, or racking servers).

    • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users.

    Personally, You Are

    • A collaborative and supportive team player.

    • A clear and confident communicator.

    • Driven by impact and motivated to solve problems.

    • Humble, curious, and eager to learn.

    • Proactive, motivated, and inquisitive.

    • Passionate about contributing to work that ultimately improves patients’ lives.

Join us in this exciting role where your contributions will have a direct impact on advancing our understanding of genetics and disease risk, supporting our mission to get transformative medicines to patients. Together, we're not just doing research; we're setting new standards in the field of machine learning and genetics. The patient is waiting!

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
