Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineers in life sciences lead the development of robust, scalable software systems that support scientific research, manufacturing, diagnostics, and clinical operations. They architect solutions that meet both scientific requirements and regulatory standards, while mentoring junior developers and ensuring high code quality.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the development of platforms and applications – This may include tools for managing lab workflows (LIMS/ELN), data visualization dashboards, digital health platforms, or bioinformatics tools.

• Architecting and optimizing system infrastructure – Ensuring performance, security, and reliability for cloud-hosted or on-premise scientific systems, often working within DevOps pipelines.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams – Engaging with scientists, QA, regulatory, and data teams to ensure the software reflects end-user needs and compliance obligations.

• Implementing best practices in codebase management – Including automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and version control in GxP or ISO-compliant environments.

• Supporting integration with lab instruments or third-party APIs – Creating interfaces for seamless data flow and interoperability across platforms.

Strong candidates are proficient in Python, Java, C#, or JavaScript (e.g., React, Node.js), and have experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, as well as tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and RESTful APIs.

Worthing

Worthing is a large seaside town located in West Sussex in South East England.  The cities of Brighton and Chichester are close by and London is only 50 miles away.   Worthing is a great place to live and work with good schools and transport links as well as a pier, sports facilities, a theatre, cinemas and a wide variety of shops, restaurants and bars.   Worthing also benefits from being located at the foot of the South Downs,  the UK’s most recent National Park, which offers fabulous scenery, marked trails for walking, horse riding and mountain biking.   Worthing was first inhabited in the Bronze Age, became a farmstead in the Roman era and remained a small agricultural fishing village for centuries after that.  Thanks to Princess Amelia, who decided to visit Worthing in 1798 to help her recuperate from TB, Worthing became a fashionable destination for wealthy members of London’s Society to try out the beneficial effects of bathing in the sea.  Tourism is still a major employer in Worthing together with pharmaceuticals, medical devices production and financial services.
