About The Role

A typical day for a Data Engineer in our team looks like this: Designing and evolving the architecture of our data pipelines and systems, working closely with both the Data Science and C# software engineering teams to ensure robust, maintainable integration points. Refactoring existing data workflows — improving code quality, structure, and testability so that prototype solutions become reliable production components. Expanding and improving our testing coverage, introducing best practices that give the team confidence to iterate quickly without breaking things.

Acting as the technical bridge between our Python-based data science work and our C# software platform, collaborating on shared interfaces, APIs, and data contracts. Contributing to code reviews, design discussions, and architectural decisions across both teams.

Who We Are

Nice To Have

Some familiarity with image processing methods, especially traditional ones for filtering, masking and segmentation of microscopy data. Familiarity with scientific or instrumentation data — working with large numerical datasets, time series, or measurements from physical instruments, in particular electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.

Qualifications

Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering , or a related STEM field, or equivalent experience through a relevant apprenticeship or demonstrable professional track record. We look for the five Cs from our colleagues: Customer Focused – Staying close to customer needs and consistently delivering value that builds trust. Caring – Creating a supportive environment where people look out for each other and can thrive.
