Overview

Terra is the infrastructure of health data.


We make it for developers and apps to connect and access data from wearables, sensors, health apps, and blood panels, and then create health scores, health rewards, and AI solutions.


Terra was launched in early 2021, and since then, we’ve been growing like crazy. But this is just the beginning.


Funding


To achieve our grand goal, we are supported by General Catalyst, Samsung NEXT, and NEXT Ventures, and we were part of Y-Combinator’s W21 batch.


At Terra, we work with one of the most sensitive data in industry: Health data. We have to ensure secure handling but at the same time extract insightful information out of the billions of data points we ingest.


You will work closely with product and engineering team to:



  • Develop and maintain our services monitoring system including works on anomaly detection
  • Improve efficiency and decrease cost within our pipelines for health data handling/storage
  • Build models to draw / extract actionable insights requested from customers from Health Data

As a team of athletes, we all have wearables monitoring our data and are synced to Terra. As a data engineer in Terra, you will have the privilege to test and build with your teammates data!


We currently use AWS and GCP along with programming languages such as Python, and R for data processing. We also work with Open-Telemetry data from services.


What We Value

We believe outstanding engineers don’t need extensive training from big-tech companies but rather able to learn through passion, curiosity, and resourcefulness. They should consider engineering as a craft, continuously refining their skills, solving challenges creatively, and be able to learn from their failures. It\'s this dedication to growth and excellence that makes you an outstanding engineer.


Must haves

  • Must approach engineering as an artisan, treating it as a craft to be perfected
  • Must be fast. We operate at 200mph, and so do you.
  • Must be relentless. We never stop, so you are even faster than us.
  • Must have customer driven. We think customers first and so should you.
  • Must be driven and go above and beyond.
  • Must be able to explain and communicate clearly.
  • Must be prepared to challenge us and disagree. We are thinking and acting as a team.
  • Must be able to work autonomously.
  • Must want to work hard.
  • Above all, you are genuinely a nice person.

Big plus

You are an athlete, or care about quantifying your data


Salary depending on experience: £33,000 - £80,000 + stock options

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Data Science Jobs Hub

Data science is arguably the most transformative technological field of the 21st century. From powering artificial intelligence algorithms to enabling complex business decisions, data science is essential across sectors. As organisations leverage data more rapidly—from retailers predicting customer behaviour to health providers diagnosing conditions—demand for proficiency in data science continues to surge. The United Kingdom is particularly well-positioned to become a global data science jobs hub. With world-class universities, a strong tech sector, growing AI infrastructure, and supportive policy environments, the UK is poised for growth. This article delves into why the UK could emerge as a leading destination for data science careers, explores the job market’s current state, outlines future opportunities, highlights challenges, and charts what must happen to realise this vision.
