Working closely with the Chief Investigator and clinical, academic and industry partners, you will design and implement technical architectures connecting diverse datasets, research algorithms, AI components and external services. You will build, test and deploy software, incorporating large language model and agentic AI capabilities where appropriate, and translate clinical and user requirements into practical product features. Alongside technical delivery, you will support product planning, commercial partnerships, customer discovery, business models, demonstrations, funding applications and pilot delivery. You will maintain robust engineering workflows and documentation, addressing interoperability, security, governance and responsible AI throughout development. The post is part-time (20 hours per week) fixed-term until 30/04/2027, at Level 4 with potential for extension About you You will hold a relevant PhD or equivalent professional experience in software engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence or a related discipline.
