THE COMPANY

This pioneering Oxford-based biotech is unlocking the non-coding genome to understand the root causes of human disease and enable new therapeutic targets. Combining high-throughput functional genomics with advanced computation and machine learning, the company’s platform integrates vast, complex datasets to drive precision drug discovery.

THE ROLE

As Senior Bioinformatics Data Engineer, you will design, build, and maintain robust data systems that manage the flow of large-scale functional genomics data from raw, unstructured lab outputs to structured, accessible datasets used for analysis and decision‑making. You’ll collaborate with bioinformaticians, machine learning specialists, and software engineers to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance across the entire data ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and manage core data infrastructure enabling automated data flows from lab data to analytics‑ready formats.
Build and optimise scalable biological data processing pipelines (Nextflow, Seqera).
Maintain and develop cloud-based infrastructure with high uptime, failsafes, and modern DevOps/DataOps practices.
Implement data modelling solutions across relational and non‑relational databases (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch).

ABOUT YOU

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

Industry experience within biotech, pharma, or large‑scale computational research.
Expertise using Dagster and Nextflow.
Experience designing and implementing scalable data pipelines for biological data.

This role can be hybrid or remote with monthly office commitments.

If you’re ready to shape the data backbone of a platform redefining genomic discovery, apply now!

I look forward to hearing from you!

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
