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!

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.
