AWS DevOps Engineer (Bioinformatics Sector)
Oxford (1 day per month in office).
£75-90k + Benefits.


- This role cannot offer Visa Sponsorship.
- To apply for this role you must have experience working in the Bioinformatics / Life Sciences / Genomics / BioTech sector.

Your new company
I am exclusively recruiting the 1st AWS DevOps Engineer for a fast-growing, clinical-stage life sciences organisation developing a first-in-class technology to tackle diseases, including cancer and autoimmune conditions.
The business is privately funded, entering a critical growth phase, and investing heavily into its data and cloud capability to support scientific discovery and clinical delivery. With active clinical programmes underway, technology is a core enabler rather than a support function.

You must be UK based and this role requires a minimum of 1 day per month in their offices in Oxfordshire.

Your new role
This role exists because science has moved faster than infrastructure. Your job is to build the platform that lets world-class scientists move even faster without breaking things. It's impact plus ownership at the point of scale.
You will join a small, highly collaborative IT and data function, working closely with bioinformaticians and scientists to design and build a scalable, secure and reproducible AWS platform.

This role sits at the intersection of DevOps, data engineering and scientific computing. You will own cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and workflow automation, enabling complex data and bioinformatics pipelines to run reliably, repeatably and at scale.

You will play a key role in shaping data strategy, governance and reproducibility standards as the organisation grows from discovery into later-stage clinical development.

What you'll need to succeed
To apply for this role you must have experience working in the Bioinformatics / Life Sciences / Genomics / BioTech sector.

This is positioned as a mid-level or senior hire requiring 5+ years AWS DevOps Experience and a background supporting data-heavy or research-led environments,

You will have strong experience with AWS architecture and infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and automation, Docker and containerised workflows and Linux system administration.

Experience building data pipelines and supporting analytics platforms will be beneficial, as will an appreciation for data governance and reproducibility/traceability.

What you'll get in return
You will be joining a well funded, mission driven organisation at a pivotal stage of growth, where technology is central to scientific delivery rather than a support function.

The company offers mainly UK remote working, 29 days annual leave plus bank holidays, private health insurance, good pension contributions and health and wellbeing allowance. There is a strong focus on trust, autonomy and sustainable working practices, with an environment that empowers engineers to make meaningful technical decisions early on.

What you need to do now
At Hays Technology, we are shaping the future of recruitment. The rapid adoption of cloud, which is making customer interfaces more engaging and creating a seamless engagement with businesses, means that from the foundation of your organisation up, software developers are critical to success. As the competition for talent grows, we're ready and waiting to help developers really make an impact on organisations, so talk to us today. We are Hays Technology.

To find out more and to be considered for this position please apply directly.

Where to Advertise Medical Technology Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise medical technology jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and MDR/IEC 62304-aware channels that reach biomedical and medtech talent. The medtech candidate pool spans biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical scientists, software engineers working within IEC 62304 and MDR frameworks, imaging scientists and commercial professionals with deep healthcare sector knowledge. General job boards consistently conflate medical technology with broader healthcare, pharmaceutical and IT roles — producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist medtech positions. This guide, published by MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise medical technology roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK medtech hiring over the next three years — devices, diagnostics and digital health. Medical technology is one of those rare sectors where commercial ambition and genuine human impact point in exactly the same direction. The devices, diagnostics, digital health platforms, and AI-powered clinical tools that medical technology companies develop do not just generate revenue — they extend lives, reduce suffering, and change what is possible inside the clinical encounter. That combination of purpose and commercial scale makes the medical technology jobs market one of the most compelling in the entire UK life sciences and technology landscape. And that market is changing faster than at any previous point in the sector's history. The integration of artificial intelligence into diagnostic imaging, pathology, and clinical decision support has moved from research demonstration to regulatory approval and NHS deployment. Wearable and implantable devices are generating continuous patient data at a scale that is transforming how chronic conditions are monitored and managed. Digital therapeutics — software that delivers clinically validated therapeutic interventions — have emerged as a recognised product category with its own regulatory pathway. Surgical robotics has moved from a premium offering at a handful of specialist centres to a mainstream surgical platform whose capabilities are expanding with each generation. For job seekers, the medical technology jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both broader and more technically demanding than it was three years ago. The roles being created now span a wider range of disciplines, require a more sophisticated understanding of the intersection between technology and clinical practice, and carry higher regulatory expectations than the medtech jobs of even a short time ago. This article breaks down what the UK medical technology jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve in one of the most consequential sectors in the UK economy.
