Responsibilities include:

  • Delivering robust, well-tested, highly efficient production-level implementations of innovative software

You're someone with strong coding skills with knowledge of professional software development techniques and practices. You know the importance of testing and quality control, yet have a solid focus on delivery. You also have superb communication and interpersonal skills to enable you to work well and build relationships with others.

Ideally, in addition to your strong C++ skills, you'll also have:

  • Experience using standard development tools and practices (Git, Unit/Integration Testing, CI/CD, Ticketing, Agile development)
  • Experience with industry standard C++ libraries and tools (boost, gsl, Catch2, CMake)
  • Development experience in Python
  • A degree in Maths, Physics, Computing (or similar)
  • Knowledge of bioinformatics concepts and practice
  • Knowledge of statistics
  • Knowledge of signal processing, electronic engineering, Linux, or embedded systems

This is an exciting role and chance to join a ground breaking, fast-paced organisation with opportunities to utilise new technology and inspire change and will suit someone with an appreciation for science and the scientific method.

We offer outstanding benefits to include an attractive bonus, generous pension contributions, private healthcare and an excellent starting salary.
