About this role
Flatiron Health is building technology to transform cancer care through real-world data and evidence. This London-based role sits at the intersection of that mission: you'll design and develop software that helps oncologists, clinicians, and health systems understand and improve patient outcomes. You'll work closely with U.S. engineering teams while collaborating daily with doctors, data scientists, product leaders, and customers to understand their challenges and translate them into technical solutions.
The work spans complex data pipelines, cloud platforms like AWS, and data warehouse tools like Snowflake. You'll need 1–4 years of professional software engineering experience with object-oriented languages (Python, C#, SQL), comfort in agile environments, and a willingness to learn new tools as needed. Beyond technical chops, the role demands strong communication skills—you'll regularly explain technical concepts to non-technical but sophisticated audiences—and genuine empathy for the problem you're solving. Deep knowledge of UK healthcare, data governance, privacy, and security requirements is valuable and will shape how you approach the work.
This is a full-time, in-office position in a fast-paced startup environment where you'll help shape team roadmaps and contribute to building Flatiron's European engineering presence. The role suits someone who thrives on meaningful problems, values collaboration, seeks feedback, and is comfortable navigating ambiguity while maintaining high engineering standards.
