Senior Data Engineer Genomic Data

Next-gen diagnostics start-up
Take ownership of data strategy and architecture from the ground up.
Flexible, remote-first working with visits to a high-impact biotech lab.
Cutting-edge work combining AI, genomics, and diagnostics to save lives.
Were working with a biotech start-up thats tackling one of modern medicines biggest challenges. Theyve built a next-generation diagnostic device and with AI, machine learning, and their own DNA sequencing tech in play, theyre solving incredibly complex problems at the intersection of science and software.

What youll be doing:
Coming in as the Senior Data Engineer, youll take the reins on all things data - shaping the architecture, strategy, and pipeline design that supports a life-saving platform.

Youll be leading on the design and implementation of scalable, secure data pipelines - getting experimental and genomic data into formats that data scientists and machine learning engineers can easily work with. You'll be collaborating closely with engineers and scientists, helping to bridge the gap between their experiments and actionable data. That might mean streaming data off DNA sequencers, integrating with LIMS systems, or improving how they trace results back to original experiments.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to step up into a role with real autonomy, and to shape how data is handled across the company.

What experience youll need to apply:
4+ years in a data engineering or similar role, building and maintaining data pipelines
Exposure to life sciences, genomics, or regulated medical environments (such as ISO 13485) or significant work within this sector/environment
Exposure to genomic data formats and tools
Exposure to GCP
Strong experience with Python and SQL
Experience working with data lakes, warehouses, and large-scale datasets
Understanding of data privacy and security principles
Comfortable working across both on-premise and cloud-based data systems
Clear communicator, able to translate complex data concepts to cross-functional teams
A Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Bioinformatics, or similar/equivalent experience

What youll get in return:
Youll join a purpose-driven start-up doing incredibly meaningful work, with a flexible, remote-first culture and the autonomy to make a big impact. The role is mostly remote, with monthly trips to their Bristol lab (travel costs covered).

A competitive salary plus a wellbeing budget, generous maternal/parental leave, and flexible hours around a core schedule.
