Our Future Healthis an ambitious collaboration between the public, charity and private sectors, designed to help people live healthier lives for longer through better prevention, earlier detection and improved treatment of diseases. We will speed up the discovery of new methods of early disease detection, and the evaluation of new diagnostic tools, to help identify and treat diseases early, when outcomes are usually better. With over 2.5M volunteers across the UK, we'renow the world's biggest health researchprogramme of its kind, and our volunteer group is also more diverse than other, similar health researchprogrammes. Technology and data are central to our mission. Our systems power websites, clinics across the UK, secure analytics and research systems, pipelines that process highly sensitive health and genetic data, and we are continuing to grow our engineering capability to support this ambition. We are looking for a Staff Engineer (Architect) to own the high-level design of our researcher operations systems. As Our Future Health moves to expand its research offering we need to build and operate new systems related to acquiring researchers, onboarding them, taking them through the study application process, and maintaining our relationship with them. The role will require working with other functions at Our Future Health such as Finance, Customer Support, and we expect it to involve a mixture of bespoke building of select components alongside configuration and integration of SaaS products like CRM, ticketing, support, and email comms systems. Where we build our own components you will work with product development squads to define the design and requirements for the component and then support the squad as they build it. The researcher onboarding and study application processes are vitally important to Our Future Health since they form our implementation of two principles from the "Five Safes" framework for safe research access to data - "safe people" and "safe projects". As well as the responsibilities specific to the researcher operations area, as a member of the Architecture team you will also play a key role in general architecture activities at Our Future Health - working with other engineers to guide the wider platform design, work on cross-platform projects which add new platform-side capabilities, represent technology in the early stages of future projects, and so on. Responsibilities Day to day work will vary depending on what your focus is at that time, but will include things like: Represent technology/architecture/engineering in cross functional project teams throughout a project's lifecycle (from ideation to implementation). Work within the team to identify optimal solutions for challenges, communicate them outwards to stakeholders and work with others to implement them. Work with your peer staff engineers and Head of Engineering to act as a guiding mind for the engineering/architecture in your business area. Identify areas for improvement and work with other leaders to implement. Lead decision making on critical technical strategy and implementations which affect your business area. Identify opportunities for and then carry out specific pieces of high impact hands on work where it makes sense. Work with partners and suppliers to integrate their systems with Our Future Health's. Support your colleagues with pairing, peer reviews, coaching, discussion, and other collaborative activities that help everyone reach high standards and result in the delivery of high quality software products. Contribute to the reliability, resilience and ongoing evolution of critical research platform services and live systems where required. We welcome applications from all who may not feel they match the full criteria, so if you have most of the below, we'd like to hear from you: Technical Skills You have led the architectural design of systems. Experience of configuring and integrating off the shelf SaaS systems with bespoke web and backend applications, via APIs, event driven architectures, etc. Appreciation of the balance between "build" and "buy", experience of weighing up pros and cons to make a selection which will fit into the wider organisation's systems and meet the needs of organisational internal users and goals. Knowledge and experience of building cloud hosted consumer web applications and backend services using open source technologies such as Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Python in a start up or scale up environment. Prior experience with Azure (ideally), AWS or GCP. Comfortable working with Infrastructure as Code, ideally with knowledge of Terraform. Knowledge of good data modelling and design patterns; in-depth knowledge of relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL) and familiarity with other types of data store (blob, document, graph). Expertise in modern, agile development practices like code review, TDD, CI/CD and pairing using tools like Git and GitHub.

Our Future Healthis an ambitious collaboration between the public, charity and private sectors, designed to help people live healthier lives for longer through better prevention, earlier detection and improved treatment of diseases. We will speed up the discovery of new methods of early disease detection, and the evaluation of new diagnostic tools, to help identify and treat diseases early, when outcomes are usually better. With over 2.5M volunteers across the UK, we'renow the world's biggest health researchprogramme of its kind, and our volunteer group is also more diverse than other, similar health researchprogrammes. Technology and data are central to our mission. Our systems power websites, clinics across the UK, secure analytics and research systems, pipelines that process highly sensitive health and genetic data, and we are continuing to grow our engineering capability to support this ambition. We are looking for a Staff Engineer (Architect) to own the high-level design of our researcher operations systems. As Our Future Health moves to expand its research offering we need to build and operate new systems related to acquiring researchers, onboarding them, taking them through the study application process, and maintaining our relationship with them. The role will require working with other functions at Our Future Health such as Finance, Customer Support, and we expect it to involve a mixture of bespoke building of select components alongside configuration and integration of SaaS products like CRM, ticketing, support, and email comms systems. Where we build our own components you will work with product development squads to define the design and requirements for the component and then support the squad as they build it. The researcher onboarding and study application processes are vitally important to Our Future Health since they form our implementation of two principles from the "Five Safes" framework for safe research access to data - "safe people" and "safe projects". As well as the responsibilities specific to the researcher operations area, as a member of the Architecture team you will also play a key role in general architecture activities at Our Future Health - working with other engineers to guide the wider platform design, work on cross-platform projects which add new platform-side capabilities, represent technology in the early stages of future projects, and so on. Responsibilities Day to day work will vary depending on what your focus is at that time, but will include things like: Represent technology/architecture/engineering in cross functional project teams throughout a project's lifecycle (from ideation to implementation). Work within the team to identify optimal solutions for challenges, communicate them outwards to stakeholders and work with others to implement them. Work with your peer staff engineers and Head of Engineering to act as a guiding mind for the engineering/architecture in your business area. Identify areas for improvement and work with other leaders to implement. Lead decision making on critical technical strategy and implementations which affect your business area. Identify opportunities for and then carry out specific pieces of high impact hands on work where it makes sense. Work with partners and suppliers to integrate their systems with Our Future Health's. Support your colleagues with pairing, peer reviews, coaching, discussion, and other collaborative activities that help everyone reach high standards and result in the delivery of high quality software products. Contribute to the reliability, resilience and ongoing evolution of critical research platform services and live systems where required. We welcome applications from all who may not feel they match the full criteria, so if you have most of the below, we'd like to hear from you: Technical Skills You have led the architectural design of systems. Experience of configuring and integrating off the shelf SaaS systems with bespoke web and backend applications, via APIs, event driven architectures, etc. Appreciation of the balance between "build" and "buy", experience of weighing up pros and cons to make a selection which will fit into the wider organisation's systems and meet the needs of organisational internal users and goals. Knowledge and experience of building cloud hosted consumer web applications and backend services using open source technologies such as Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Python in a start up or scale up environment. Prior experience with Azure (ideally), AWS or GCP. Comfortable working with Infrastructure as Code, ideally with knowledge of Terraform. Knowledge of good data modelling and design patterns; in-depth knowledge of relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL) and familiarity with other types of data store (blob, document, graph). Expertise in modern, agile development practices like code review, TDD, CI/CD and pairing using tools like Git and GitHub. Experience of operationally managing software components once live, including observability, logging, metrics, error reporting, debugging and live incident management. Experience of working with sensitive personal data. Competencies Experience working in/with cross functional teams consisting of engineers, product, UX and non technical stakeholders.

Reports into: VP of Commercial Operations Location: London (hybrid) About the role: We're looking for Data & Analytics Lead to take ownership of our commercial data function. Commercial decisions increasingly depend on trusted, forward looking data, and the bar on our data function has risen from "report what happened" to "define, predict, and steer." We hold a high volume of data but need the definitions, governance, and ownership to turn it into insight the executive team trusts. This is a newly created role to close that gap. You'll be the single owner of our data layer; its definitions, its quality, and the insight drawn from it. You'll be leading a team of three (two data engineers and one senior analyst) and partnering directly with senior leadership. You'll build deliberately, in sequence: a governed foundation and single source of truth first, then an exec ready insight layer, then a credible AI and data strategy on top. You'll be equally comfortable setting technical direction for engineers and translating data into clear narrative for executives. What you will do: Own metric definitions, the semantic / metric layer, and a living data dictionary across the business, establishing a single source of truth. Set and enforce data governance: ownership, quality standards, and definition change control, so the business stops debating "whose number is right." Direct the data engineering team on the pipelines and models that underpin the function. Turn data into narrative and forecast, not just dashboards - equipping the exec team with decision ready insight on pipeline, revenue, retention, and forecasting. Own exec facing reporting and the standards the analyst delivers against. Act as the trusted data partner to the VP and the wider leadership team. Define where AI and predictive analytics earn their keep (forecasting, scoring, copilots over governed data) and own the roadmap to deliver them. Lead, mentor, and grow a team of three; set direction and standards, and create a path for junior talent to develop. Sequence delivery deliberately; foundation, then insight, then AI, recognising that AI built on undefined data fails. Minimum of 3 years experience leading a data or analytics function People leadership experience, has managed and developed analysts and/or data engineers. Strong analytics engineering depth; semantic / metric layers, dbt or equivalent, and SQL with the credibility to give technical direction to engineers. Experience across this tech stack (or similar): PowerBI, PostgreSQL, OpenMetaData and AWS. A track record of defining metrics and building governance and a single source of truth from a messy starting point. Exec grade communication: able to turn analysis into clear narrative and recommendation for a senior audience. Ability to produce and present high quality analysis to both technical and business stakeholders Nice-haves: SaaS, software, or subscription business exposure (recurring revenue, retention / NRR, usage telemetry). Hands on experience with modern BI and forecasting tooling, and a pragmatic view on applied AI / ML. Experience through a hardware to software shift or a wider commercial transformation. Behaviours and traits we're looking for: Product minded: thinks about the why, not just the how. A natural curiosity to learn and a 'can do' mentality with a strong preference to suggest solutions rather than just identify problems. Dynamic and quick to respond to changes, works well under pressure, and with other teams. No Ego: A win for the team and for our customers.
