  • 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.
