  • Experience in Agile and DevOps environments with a focus on automated testing

Why This role?

  • Be part of a highly skilled team developing a modern data and search platform
  • Work on vector search and machine learning applications
  • Hybrid role: 1 day a week in our Glasgow office (Tuesday), with flexibility to work from home the rest of the time
  • A culture that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning

What's In It for You?

  • Competitive salary & benefits package
  • A chance to work with cutting-edge technologies in a fast-moving, innovative environment
  • A team that values collaboration, knowledge sharing, and career growth
  • The opportunity to make a real impact on a platform used by industry-leading biotech companies
