Senior Software Engineer

📍 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.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Engineering: Reshaping the Big Data Pipeline

Data engineering has become an indispensable pillar of the modern technology ecosystem. As companies gather massive troves of data—often measured in petabytes—the importance of robust, scalable data pipelines cannot be overstated. From ingestion and storage to transformation and analysis, data engineers stand at the forefront of delivering reliable data for analytics, machine learning, and critical business decisions. Simultaneously, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone a revolution, transitioning from niche research projects to a foundational tool for everything from predictive maintenance and fraud detection to customer experience personalisation. Yet as AI models grow in complexity—think large language models with hundreds of billions of parameters—the data volumes and computational needs escalate dramatically. The industry finds itself at an inflection point: traditional computing systems may eventually hit performance ceilings, even when scaled horizontally with thousands of nodes. Enter quantum computing, a nascent yet rapidly progressing technology that leverages quantum mechanics to tackle certain computational tasks exponentially faster than classical machines. While quantum computing is still maturing, its potential to supercharge AI workflows—often referred to as quantum-enhanced AI—has piqued the curiosity of data engineers and enterprises alike. This synergy could solve some of the biggest headaches in data engineering: accelerating data transformations, enabling more efficient analytics, and even facilitating entirely new kinds of modelling once believed to be intractable. In this article, we explore: How data engineering has evolved to support AI’s insatiable appetite for high-quality, well-structured data. The fundamentals of quantum computing and why it may transform the data engineering landscape. Potential real-world applications for quantum-enhanced AI in data engineering—from data ingestion to machine learning pipeline optimisation. Emerging career paths and skill sets needed to thrive in a future where data, AI, and quantum computing intersect. Challenges, ethical considerations, and forward-looking perspectives on how this convergence might shape the data engineering domain. If you work in data engineering, are curious about quantum computing, or simply want to stay on the cutting edge of technology, read on. The next frontier of data-driven innovation may well be quantum-powered.
