Company Description
Genomics England partners with the NHS to provide whole genome sequencing diagnostics. We also equip researchers to find the causes of disease and develop new treatments – with patients and participants at the heart of it all.
Our mission is to continue refining, scaling, and evolving our ability to enable others to deliver genomic healthcare and conduct genomic research.
We are accelerating our impact and working with patients, doctors, scientists, government and industry to improve genomic testing, and help researchers access the health data and technology they need to make new medical discoveries and create more effective, targeted medicines for everybody.
Job Description
We’re on the lookout for a skilled Platform Engineer with a sharp eye for infrastructure, a problem-solving mindset, and ideally, a genuine interest in working with data at scale.
At Genomics England, our platform powers the secure movement and analysis of multi-petabyte genomic and healthcare datasets. From high-throughput data pipelines to orchestration, transfer and visualisation tooling, the infrastructure you’ll help build directly supports teams tackling some of the most important challenges in genomic medicine.
This is very much a hands-on engineering role, but the problems you’ll be solving are data-flavoured. Think performance tuning for data-heavy workflows, scaling secure cloud-native environments, improving observability across transfer pipelines, and enabling product teams to run faster without worrying about what’s underneath.

Blended working model
Genomics England operates a blended working model as we know our people appreciate the flexibility that hybrid working can bring. We expect most people to come into the office a minimum of 2 times each month. However, this will vary according to role and will be agreed with your team leader. There is no expectation that people will return to the office full time unless they want to, however, some of our roles require full time on site attendance e.g., lab teams, reception team.
Our teams and squads have, and will continue to reflect on what works best for them to work together successfully and have the freedom to design working patterns to suit, beyond the minimum. Our office locations are: Canary Wharf, Cambridge and Leeds.
Onboarding background checks
As part of our recruitment process, all successful candidates are subject to a Standard Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. We therefore require applicants to disclose any previous offences at point of application, as some unspent convictions may mean we are unable to proceed with your application due to the nature of our work in healthcare.
