Our Data Engineering team owns the end-to-end journey of the genomic datasets that power both our commercial products and our internal science - from disease-risk insights that reach real patients, to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. As a Data Engineer in this small, high-impact team, you'll turn large, complex and scientifically consequential datasets into trusted, analysis-ready resources. Your focus will be data transformation, harmonisation and quality control: working within established automated workflows, but bringing the statistical-genetics judgement to know when the numbers don't add up - and the curiosity to find out why. As you grow, you'll take on broader work - helping define schemas for new data types and shaping how we expand our genomic data resource. It's a genuine intersection of data engineering, data modelling and genetics, with real scope to develop across both technical and scientific dimensions. A Day in the Life * Moving data in: ingesting large-scale genetic and genomic datasets - GWAS summary statistics, individual-level genotype and phenotype data - through a mix of scripting, automated pipelines and hands-on processing in a Linux environment. * Safeguarding quality: interpreting QC metrics and diagnostic plots, investigating anomalies, and applying sound scientific judgement to resolve data-quality issues. * Getting the detail right: configuring workflow parameters and curating dataset metadata so every dataset is correctly represented, fit for scientific use, and clearly described for internal scientists and external customers. * Collaborating: partnering with software engineers and developers in an agile setting to diagnose pipeline issues, define requirements and continuously improve our ingestion and QC processes. * Growing: contributing to schema design for new data types and helping expand our genomic data resource alongside science, product and engineering. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Beyond GPT: Building Unified GenAI Platforms for the Enterprise of Tomorrow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1525-beyond-gpt-building-unified-genai-platforms-for-the-enterprise-of-tomorrow) - [How E.On productionizes its AI model & Implementation of Secure Generative AI.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/623-how-e-on-productionizes-its-ai-model-implementation-of-secure-generative-ai) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london)
