We are seeking an experienced software developer to play a lead role in the development of the OpenSAFELY platform and the fast-growing engineering team at the University of Oxford.

About the Role

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys technical leadership and running small teams, but also wishes to maintain an element of front-line, hands-on engineering.

In collaboration with the existing leadership team, you will provide line management, training, technical advice, mentorship, and coaching to your colleagues.

You will co-own the architectural direction of the platform and provide guidance to build the best possible products.

Key Responsibilities

They should show strong user empathy and enjoy helping others to be productive.

We anticipate the role being approximately 80% leadership work and 20% hands-on engineering.

Working Arrangements

You will be formally based in the Radcliffe Primary Care Building, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG as your normal place of work, but you may be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with your line manager.

The position is full-time and fixed-term until 31 October 2026 in the first instance.
