Full-Stack Software Engineer – UK Biobank’s Automated Output Checking System
At UK Biobank, we’re pioneering new technologies to advance biomedical research securely. Our AI-powered, cloud-native automated output checking system for trusted research environments is reshaping how researchers interact with sensitive datasets.
This is your chance to lead development for a first-of-its-kind platform—where AI, cloud excellence, and modern full-stack engineering converge under your guidance.
About the Role
Working with architects, researchers, vendors, and engineering teams, you’ll shape a global-scale platform supporting the safe and secure export of research outputs. Your contributions reshape data security, scalability, and developer experience in computational health research.
This is more than engineering—it’s about innovating cloud-native security solutions for global health impact.
Responsibilities
You will design, build, and deploy systems that embed trust at every level:
- Ensure integration patterns align with enterprise architecture principles—event-driven, API-first, and microservices-based.
- Develop scalable, secure, and maintainable full-stack applications using:
- Backend: Python (FastAPI, Flask) and relational and non-relational databases.
- Frontend: TypeScript + modern frameworks (React).
- Infrastructure: AWS (Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3, API Gateway, IAM, Step Functions) + Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
- Build and manage responsible, observable, and monitored systems with:
- Comprehensive logging, monitoring, and audit trails.
- Dynamic CI/CD pipelines for smooth workflows.
- Engage with cross-functional teams to refine architecture, collaborate with data stewards, and explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Requirements
To thrive in this role, you bring:
- 5+ years of full-stack experience in enterprise environments.
- Python expertise (REST APIs via FastAPI/Flask).
- Frontend mastery: TypeScript + React/Vue.
- AWS proficiency:
- Containers (ECS/EKS)
- Event-driven architectures (SQS, Step Functions, Lambda)
- Security and networking (IAM, VPC, API Gateway)
- Microservices/digital soup knowledge (“I can graph this” vibes).
- Hands-on API design and security (OpenAPI/Swagger, JWT/OAuth).
- CI/CD obsession: DevOps, automation, and Sakawa’s eternal friends (*GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ouija boards—though none of those last).
