Senior Python Engineer Offline

Description

On behalf of Ciklum Digital, Ciklum is looking for a Senior Python Developer to join the UA team on a full-time basis.

You will join a highly motivated team and will be working on a modern solution for our existing client. We are looking for technology experts who want to make an impact on new business by applying best practices and taking ownership.

Client is looking for a Senior or Strong Middle Software Engineer to help us build out our data processing infrastructure.

About the Project:

Named by the World Economic Forum as one of the world's 30 Technology Pioneers 2016, and one of Gartner's 'Cool Vendors in Life Sciences' 2018, Synthace is revolutionising the way that biology is done!

Our revolutionary software platform (www.synthace.com/platform/) lowers the level of entry for scientists to introduce automation to their work, while allowing specialist technicians to get even more out of the existing equipment in the labs. It is directly contributing to faster, more efficient research into hard to cure diseases such as Cancer. If social impact and knowing your work is having a positive impact on the world is important to you, it doesn't get much better than this.

Synthace allows scientists to design biological experiments, simulate them, translate instructions for robotic lab equipment, and visualise complex data sets from the results. As you can imagine, there are a wide range of technical challenges that we are addressing, and the work is rewarding.

Clients already include the likes of Astra-Zeneca, Oxford Biomedica, Ipsen, Merck and GSK, and we have ambitious plans to grow our customer base this year.

Responsibilities

You'll be working within a tight-knit, friendly and collaborative development team on exciting projects with plenty of technical challenges to get your teeth into.

You won't find any micro-management here – we're all about trust, enablement and personal ownership. We give you space and autonomy to solve complex problems, while offering support if/when needed.

We have a clear company vision, and we’re building a strategy and roadmap to go around this. Everyone knows how their work directly impacts the goals we're working towards, and everyone's voice is heard.

Followers of best practice will fit in well, but pragmatism is key. We generally take the approach of using the right tool for the job rather than being fixed to any one particular way of doing things.
