📍 Oxford (Hybrid: 2–3 Days Onsite) | Medical Imaging | Purpose-Led Tech

Have you worked with medical imaging systems and want to take your next big step?

Are you ready to join a team where your experience will be recognised, valued, and put to life-saving use?

Looking for a flexible hybrid role with exciting tech and real impact?

We’re working with a leading health-tech organisation whose platform is transforming how clinicians detect and prevent serious medical conditions. They’re now looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong medical imaging experience to join their engineering team based in Oxford.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a cloud-based software solution that supports early diagnosis through advanced imaging and AI. The team operates at the cutting edge of medical device software development, and your input will help shape scalable, secure systems used in real-world clinical settings.

Why This Role is Great

  • Play a key role in building imaging-focused software systems that are already used in hospitals and research centres.

  • Work on projects involving CT, MRI and other imaging formats, helping clinicians make better-informed decisions.

  • Collaborate with highly skilled engineers and researchers, gaining exposure to full-stack development, cloud platforms, and regulatory frameworks.

  • Enjoy a hands-on, fast-paced environment where your ideas are encouraged and your experience is valued.

  • Flexible hybrid working with 2–3 days onsite per week, in a supportive, cross-functional team setting.

  • A competitive salary of ÂŁ60,000 to ÂŁ70,000 with a bonus scheme, private healthcare, enhanced pension and more.

  • Visa sponsorship available for those currently in the UK and eligible for transfer.

    About You

    You’re a confident and capable engineer with experience in healthcare software, particularly in medical imaging. You enjoy working on complex systems and thrive in environments where you can pick things up quickly and take ownership of key projects.

    You may bring experience like:

  • 3 to 5 years of hands-on software engineering, ideally in the medical device or healthcare sector.

  • Solid understanding of how distributed systems are built, maintained and scaled.

  • Familiarity with DICOM, HL7, FHIR, and formats used in CT or MRI workflows.

  • Proficiency in Python, or an eagerness to work with it in a production environment.

  • Experience with cloud platforms, particularly AWS, and developing within modern software pipelines.

  • Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively and work independently where needed.

    What You’ll Be Working With

  • Python-based services deployed in a cloud-native architecture.

  • Data pipelines and algorithms for medical imaging analysis.

  • Interfaces with hospital systems and data formats such as DICOM and FHIR.

  • A team that combines engineering, research and operations, all working towards meaningful health outcomes.

    Benefits Snapshot

  • ÂŁ60,000 – ÂŁ70,000 base salary, plus performance bonus (details TBC)

  • Hybrid working (Oxford office, 2–3 days onsite preferred)

  • Private medical insurance and life cover

  • 25 days holiday plus public holidays

  • Enhanced pension scheme

  • Cycle-to-work scheme

  • Relocation support and visa sponsorship (where applicable)

    Inclusion Matters

    We and our client are committed to diverse hiring. If you bring relevant experience in imaging, data, or regulated environments - even if not from a traditional medical background - we encourage you to apply. If you meet most of the brief, please get in touch.

Data Engineering Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data engineering in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, companies of all sizes — from fintechs to government agencies, retailers to healthcare providers — are building data teams to turn vast amounts of information into insight and value. That means demand for data engineering talent remains strong, but there’s a gap between media hype and the real pathways available to mid-career professionals. This guide gives you the straight UK reality check: which data engineering roles are genuinely open to career switchers, what skills employers actually look for, how long retraining really takes and how to position your experience for success.

How to Write a Data Engineering Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data engineering is the backbone of modern data-driven organisations. From analytics and machine learning to business intelligence and real-time platforms, data engineers build the pipelines, platforms and infrastructure that make data usable at scale. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data engineering candidates. Job adverts often generate high application volumes, but few applicants have the practical skills needed to build and maintain production-grade data systems. At the same time, experienced data engineers skip over adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or misaligned with real-world data engineering work. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data engineers are pragmatic, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals immature data practices and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals strong engineering culture and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data engineering job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible data employer.

Maths for Data Engineering Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, maths can feel like a vague requirement hiding behind phrases like “strong analytical skills”, “performance mindset” or “ability to reason about systems”. Most of the time, hiring managers are not looking for advanced theory. They want confidence with the handful of maths topics that show up in real pipelines: Rates, units & estimation (throughput, cost, latency, storage growth) Statistics for data quality & observability (distributions, percentiles, outliers, variance) Probability for streaming, sampling & approximate results (sketches like HyperLogLog++ & the logic behind false positives) Discrete maths for DAGs, partitioning & systems thinking (graphs, complexity, hashing) Optimisation intuition for SQL plans & Spark performance (joins, shuffles, partition strategy, “what is the bottleneck”) This article is written for UK job seekers targeting roles like Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Platform Data Engineer, Data Warehouse Engineer, Streaming Data Engineer or DataOps Engineer.
