Data Engineer

Our vision is a new category of habit-forming healthcare globally; one that is patient-centred, predictive, and intrinsically scalable.We're a digital-native healthcare provider, using personalised video streams to deliver treatment pathways at population scale, with transformative economics. By personalising each patient's interaction in real-time, we deliver world-class medical treatment in an engaging consumer experience.

The Role

We're looking for a data engineer driven by patient impact and facilitating data driven decision making. We're still small, so you'd be the sole engineer focused solely on the data side of things (at least initially).

What You'll Do

Your day-to-day work will be impactful and varied, including:

Analysing patient data - running queries to generate plots/visualisations and data summaries

Building an internal data platform to allow non-technical colleagues to self-serve with their data queries

Working with the UX team to iterate the app design and requirements through data driven decisions

Coming up with interesting questions to ask about our data to inform product decisions

Improving our application and data model to capture high quality data

Exemplifying best practice for medical data storage, security and privacy

You’ll collaborate closely with the rest of the engineering / UX team, work directly with company leadership, and see the impact of your work on real patients.

About You

You have strong programming skills in Python and its data science ecosystem

You are a software professional, who knows the difference between research and production code

You have good mathematical fluency (particularly around probability, statistics and information theory)

You enjoy working with design and product teams to help shape exceptional products

You care deeply about users - championing great experience and access to quality clinical care

You can communicate your work clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

You take initiative and ownership of your work

Bonus Points

Whilst not required, experience in any of these areas will definitely stand out - let us know if you have any!

Working with medical data (or other sensitive data)

Creating visual tools (e.g. interactive dashboards) for data exploration by others with good UX

Good ML fundamentals (e.g. could build a small neural network from scratch)

Data modelling (and versioning) of complex systems

Startup experience

What We Offer

Interesting and challenging work

In-person working from a beautiful work space in the Cambridgeshire countryside

An onsite gym

A digital health subscription of your choice

Early stage equity with employee-friendly terms (via an EMI scheme)

Comprehensive medical coverage (including dental and optical) and life insurance

Optional remote working on Wednesdays, with an annual allowance of 10 extra remote days

Why Data Engineering Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For many years, data engineering in the UK meant designing pipelines, moving data between systems, and ensuring analysts had what they needed. Today, the field is expanding. With cloud platforms, machine learning, real-time analytics and the explosion of sensitive personal data, employers expect data engineers to do much more. Modern data engineering is no longer just about code and storage. It requires legal awareness, ethical judgement, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. These disciplines shape how data is collected, processed, explained and trusted. In this article, we’ll explore why data engineering careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design now influence job descriptions, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive.

Data Engineering Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Engineering Department

Data has become the lifeblood of modern organisations. Every sector in the UK—finance, healthcare, retail, government, technology—is increasingly relying on insights derived from data to drive decisions, deliver products, and improve operations. But raw data on its own isn’t enough. To make data useful, reliable, secure, and scalable, companies must build strong data engineering teams. If you’re recruiting for data engineering or seeking a role, understanding the structure of such a team and who does what is essential. This article breaks down the typical roles in a modern data engineering department, how they collaborate, required skills and qualifications, expected UK salaries, common challenges, and advice on structuring and growing a data engineering team.
