📍 Oxford (Hybrid: 2–3 Days Onsite) | Medical Imaging | Purpose-Led Tech

Have you worked with medical imaging systems and want to take your next big step?

Are you ready to join a team where your experience will be recognised, valued, and put to life-saving use?

Looking for a flexible hybrid role with exciting tech and real impact?

We’re working with a leading health-tech organisation whose platform is transforming how clinicians detect and prevent serious medical conditions. They’re now looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong medical imaging experience to join their engineering team based in Oxford.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a cloud-based software solution that supports early diagnosis through advanced imaging and AI. The team operates at the cutting edge of medical device software development, and your input will help shape scalable, secure systems used in real-world clinical settings.

Why This Role is Great

  • Play a key role in building imaging-focused software systems that are already used in hospitals and research centres.

  • Work on projects involving CT, MRI and other imaging formats, helping clinicians make better-informed decisions.

  • Collaborate with highly skilled engineers and researchers, gaining exposure to full-stack development, cloud platforms, and regulatory frameworks.

  • Enjoy a hands-on, fast-paced environment where your ideas are encouraged and your experience is valued.

  • Flexible hybrid working with 2–3 days onsite per week, in a supportive, cross-functional team setting.

  • A competitive salary of ÂŁ60,000 to ÂŁ70,000 with a bonus scheme, private healthcare, enhanced pension and more.

  • Visa sponsorship available for those currently in the UK and eligible for transfer.

    About You

    You’re a confident and capable engineer with experience in healthcare software, particularly in medical imaging. You enjoy working on complex systems and thrive in environments where you can pick things up quickly and take ownership of key projects.

    You may bring experience like:

  • 3 to 5 years of hands-on software engineering, ideally in the medical device or healthcare sector.

  • Solid understanding of how distributed systems are built, maintained and scaled.

  • Familiarity with DICOM, HL7, FHIR, and formats used in CT or MRI workflows.

  • Proficiency in Python, or an eagerness to work with it in a production environment.

  • Experience with cloud platforms, particularly AWS, and developing within modern software pipelines.

  • Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively and work independently where needed.

    What You’ll Be Working With

  • Python-based services deployed in a cloud-native architecture.

  • Data pipelines and algorithms for medical imaging analysis.

  • Interfaces with hospital systems and data formats such as DICOM and FHIR.

  • A team that combines engineering, research and operations, all working towards meaningful health outcomes.

    Benefits Snapshot

  • ÂŁ60,000 – ÂŁ70,000 base salary, plus performance bonus (details TBC)

  • Hybrid working (Oxford office, 2–3 days onsite preferred)

  • Private medical insurance and life cover

  • 25 days holiday plus public holidays

  • Enhanced pension scheme

  • Cycle-to-work scheme

  • Relocation support and visa sponsorship (where applicable)

    Inclusion Matters

    We and our client are committed to diverse hiring. If you bring relevant experience in imaging, data, or regulated environments - even if not from a traditional medical background - we encourage you to apply. If you meet most of the brief, please get in touch.

Medical Technology Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into medical technology (medtech) in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re exploring an exciting and meaningful field. Medtech companies in the UK design, develop and support devices, software and systems that improve patient care, diagnostics, treatment and healthcare outcomes. From imaging systems to wearable tech, from digital health platforms to surgical instruments — medtech is a rich ecosystem with many career pathways. But the field is often seen as exclusive to engineers or scientists with decades of specialised training. That myth can put off experienced professionals with valuable transferable skills. This article cuts through the hype and gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on roles that exist, the skills employers actually want, how to retrain realistically, whether age really matters and how to position your experience for success.

How to Write a Medical Technology Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Medical technology sits at the intersection of healthcare, engineering, regulation and innovation. From diagnostics and imaging to digital health, robotics, wearables and regulated medical devices, medical technology roles require a rare combination of technical skill, regulatory awareness and patient-centred thinking. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Medical technology job adverts often generate either too few applications or the wrong type of applicants — candidates who are technically strong but unfamiliar with regulated environments, or healthcare professionals without the required engineering or product experience. In most cases, the problem is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Medical technology professionals are detail-oriented, risk-aware and selective. A vague or generic job ad signals poor regulatory understanding and weak product maturity. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, safety and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a medical technology job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a serious medtech employer.

Maths for Medical Technology Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for medical technology jobs in the UK it can feel like you need “serious maths” to get hired. In reality most MedTech roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a small set of practical topics that come up repeatedly across: medical device R&D & product development verification, validation & test engineering clinical evidence, usability & human factors support quality, regulatory, risk management & post market work software as a medical device (SaMD) & connected devices imaging, sensing, signal processing & on device algorithms This guide focuses on the maths you will actually use in common UK roles like Medical Device Engineer, Verification & Validation Engineer, Test Engineer, Quality Engineer, Regulatory Associate with technical scope, Software Engineer in MedTech, Systems Engineer, Clinical Data Analyst, Biostatistics adjacent roles, Biomedical Engineer, Imaging Engineer. You will learn: measurement uncertainty & stats for testing probability & risk thinking for hazard analysis basic modelling & curve fitting (the workhorse skill) signal basics for sensors & wearables linear algebra essentials for imaging & ML enabled devices optimisation thinking for thresholds, trade offs & performance You will also get a 6 week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section.
