Take a lead role in shaping data science pipelines, platforms and methodologies Cambridge; £DoE + Benefits This life science stealth start-up is expanding, and having put together their core science team, are now looking to hire their first Data Scientist to join them. As you may expect in a start-up, projects and roles are quite fluid and dynamic, and as a Data Scientist, you would be tasked to build their data platform and establish processes to generate insight from the scientific data that is generated. Examples of project work will include algorithm development for time series events, maintaining data analysis pipelines, and implementing best-in-practice data analysis techniques. Requirements Master s or ideally PhD in mathematics, science or similar. Demonstrable experience in data analysis in a science environment (ideally biotech or applied life sciences). Strong application experience in data science methodologies including signal processing, classical algorithms, and machine learning. Ability to make sense of data within project context and company goals, so that insight can aid further research and projects. Good Python programming skills with the ability to write maintainable code to a good standard including use of relevant libraries and associated tools. This should include awareness to write appropriate tests. Excellent communication skills with the ability to talk to non-technical and non-scientific stakeholders. Any exposure to training ML models (neural networks) would be desirable. This role would predominately be based at offices in Cambridge (although some flexibility for hybrid working would be possible when projects allow). Please note no company sponsorship is available, and interested applicants must have full rights to work in the UK without any restrictions.

Providing 24/7 IT support for On-Prem and Cloud applications As part of a dedicated, internal IT team, the Systems, Infrastructure and Network Engineer will provide full IT support for the wider organisation, including extensive IT systems found in large corporate engineering companies as well as On-Prem and Cloud provisions. Projects and work can vary, but the team takes pride in responding quickly and efficiently to support cases escalated from helpdesks. Due to the nature of projects, you will be expected to be onsite quickly if required, so interested applicants do need to live in Cambridge or close to Cambridge. In general, you may only be in the office 2+ days per week. Further, you would be expected to be on-call for out-of-hours support one-week-in-four (again being able to go into the office quickly during this time; this doesn t happen often, but the business provides a 24/7 service to their customers so the ability to provide support is required). Requirements: Extensive experience in IT Systems or Network Engineering (this is not a sysadmin desktop support role). Expertise and project understanding around networking (including TCP/IP, DNS, ports and protocols, routers, latency, firewalls, VPNs etc ). Experience with both Windows Server systems administration (Active Directory, RADIUS, PowerShell); and Linux systems administration (Ubuntu, Apache2, OpenSSL). Experience with different email configurations and management (DMARC, SPF, SMTP, IMAP). Additional experience with database administration (SQL Server, Oracle); MS 365 administration, Virtual machine hosting, Azure would be beneficial. The role is particularly people-facing, so good communication skills and ability to translate technical jargon for non-technical audiences is important. Similarly, the ability to multitask, lead on projects and being adaptable is important. On offer is a competitive salary with good benefits. The company provides support to employees and flexibility to accommodate work-life when possible. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.
