About The Role
TileBio is building a foundation model of pathology. We treat histology as a language of tissue and train models directly on raw, unlabelled whole slide images (WSIs) to learn the underlying structure of biology. Our system converts tissue into a sequence of learned tokens and trains transformer models to understand disease at scale. Data is our lifeblood, and we are looking for a Data Engineer to build the refinery.
At TileBio, "Data Engineering" isn't just about moving rows in a database; it’s about architecting the flow of terabytes of high-resolution medical imagery. You will build and maintain the infrastructure that fuels our foundation model training. You will own the lifecycle of a Whole Slide Image from the moment it leaves a scanner or a partner’s server to the moment it becomes a versioned, reproducible training set for our AI team.
What You'll Do
- Architect the ingestion and preprocessing of massive histopathology datasets (SVS, NDPI, iSyntax)
- Build and refine automated, high-throughput pipelines for tiling, filtering, and metadata extraction
- Implement rigorous dataset versioning so every training experiment is traceable and repeatable
- Coordinate data movement between local high-performance storage, cluster environments (SLURM), and cloud buckets
- Monitor and resolve quality issues, ensuring our models learn from the highest quality biological signals
- Work closely with Deep Learning Engineers to optimise data loading and throughput for multi-GPU training
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- Strong Python skills with the ability to write clean, performant, and maintainable code
- Hands-on experience managing large scientific, imaging, or unstructured datasets
- Experience with storage architectures such as ZFS, object storage, or cloud-native solutions
- Experience building and deploying automated data pipelines (e.g., Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, or custom-built)
- Deep understanding of data versioning (e.g., DVC, LakeFS) and why it matters for ML

- Strong systems thinking with the ability to design for "the next 100TB" today
What We Offer
- Salary of £35,000 to £60,000 (depending on experience) and equity eligibility
- Opportunity to build the core infrastructure that enables biological discovery at a global scale
- A culture that optimises for impact, takes ownership, and delivers
- An environment that challenges ideas, not people, and values speed, clarity, and rigour
