Senior Bioinformatics Data Engineer - Singular: Building Brilliant Biotechs

We are seeking a Bioinformatician, looking to start their career in industry, to join a multidisciplinary team to make a lasting contribution to a unique technology that will transform our understanding of disease and diagnosis.

Role:
The bioinformatician will contribute to the analysis and interpretation of NGS data, generated using a unique epigenetics platform, as well as to develop ways to create patient epigenetic profiles and discover novel biomarkers for both diagnostics and prognostics.
You will gain exposure to cutting edge computational epigenetics and machine learning approaches and explore the latest bioinformatic developments for biomarker discovery, NGS and epigenetic data analysis.

Your background will include:

  • A Ph.D. in bioinformatics & epigenetics
  • Experience in handling and processing NGS datasets (such as WGS, Exome sequencing, RNA-seq etc), including raw data quality control, alignment and processing as well as analysis and interpretation
  • Knowledge of analysing epigenetics datasets such as ATAC-seq ChIP-seq, WGBS, MeDIPs, etc
  • Familiarity with data visualization and analytics tools
  • Comfortable coding in either Python or R

    It would be great if you had:
  • Experience in analysing 'omics datasets for biological interpretation and actionable insights.
  • Scientific domain expertise in epigenetics, cancer genomics, liquid biopsy or biomarker discovery and relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals
  • Familiarity with cloud environments and bioinformatics pipelines (e.g. Nextflow)
  • Familiarity with machine learning algorithms
  • Familiarity with variant calling packages and/or gene panels

    A small but rapidly expanding company - by joining early in their journey you will gain exposure to the various facets of start-up life and have a unique chance to contribute to the technology and influence the company culture. Excellent personal development opportunities.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
