The research will enable precision medicine and therapies to be tailored to the patient.

You will be responsible for the full service delivery of feature implementation by engaging directly with users to gather feature requirements through to design, implementation, testing and deployment. The ideal candidate will have at least 3- 4 years of experience in software development, an interest in biological datasets, a solid understanding of basic design principles and experience with big data. Any previous experience in a healthcare or research environment would be highly beneficial. The team operates in a fast paced and challenging environment.
