About the role

Senior Data Platform Engineer at CoMind, London. You’ll design and implement the data, compute, pipelines, and evaluation architecture to support neuroscientific research and regulatory-compliant software in a fast-paced, science-driven environment.

Responsibilities

  • Reprocessing. Change one stage of the pipeline and you currently pay for a full re-run. Re-running a six-month-old analysis with new parameters should be routine and cheap.
  • Evaluation. Comparison and simulation harnesses are rebuilt bespoke every time. They should be something a scientist calls, not something a scientist commissions, including scientists who don't write code, and agents running analysis strands on their behalf.
  • Compute and data access. Reproducible environments, sensibly-sized cloud resource, and datasets you can find and trust without asking whoever made them.
  • Engineering standards. Testing, CI and repository structure across a codebase written largely by scientists. Knowing where to enforce and where to reduce friction instead matters more than the tooling does.
  • The research-to-software boundary. A gate a method passes, not an event that consumes weeks.
  • Regulatory evidence as a by-product. IEC 62304 traceability artefacts generated from CI rather than written alongside it.
  • Growing the capability. Mentoring junior developers in the team, and shaping this function as it grows.

Qualifications

  • Substantial software or platform engineering experience, a good deal of it building tooling for scientists, researchers or quants rather than for end customers
  • Deep Python, and pipeline or workflow systems where correctness and reproducibility mattered as much as throughput
  • Cloud compute and storage (AWS preferred), containerisation, infrastructure-as-code, cost-aware provisioning
  • Tooling you built that people chose to use. Adoption you earned rather than mandated is the strongest single signal for this role
  • The ability to sit with a scientist, understand the analysis well enough to abstract it correctly, and push back when the evaluation itself looks wrong
  • A record of raising the standard of the engineers around you without formal authority over them
  • Comfort defining a function rather than joining one, on a small team with a real deadline: shipping a usable road early and widening it, rather than designing the complete platform first

Benefits

  • Company equity plan so all employees share in the success of the company
  • Salary-sacrifice pension scheme
  • Private medical, dental and vision insurance (medical history disregarded)
  • Group life insurance at 4x annual income
  • Comprehensive mental health support, including unlimited access to 1:1 sessions with trained professionals
  • Unlimited holiday allowance (+ bank holidays) and one week of remote working per quarter
  • Lunch voucher (£10) every day for JustEat and free dinner on those days where you need to work later
  • Twice weekly deliveries of fresh fruit and an extensive selection of snacks and drinks
  • YuLife subscription, allowing you to turn your daily steps and meditation into discounts at a range of stores
