Requirements

Must:
I require a Master's degree or equivalent in informatics or life sciences, or a Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant industry experience. You should have a deep knowledge of R programming and package development, proven experience managing dependencies in R production environments, and a strong background in version control systems and CI/CD implementation. I expect a history of successful collaboration with IT teams on data science workflows and proficiency with Windows and/or Linux environments. Experience with GIS systems and spatial data analysis is essential, along with exceptional problem-solving abilities and adaptability. Leadership experience and strong communication skills are important, as is a structured approach to quantitative challenges. You should be comfortable working in a dynamic startup environment.

Responsibilities

In this role, I will need you to lead technical best practices across R package design, code architecture, documentation, and dependency management. You will establish and oversee versioning and CI/CD systems to enhance our team workflows. You’ll guide team members in code architecture, development standards, and deployment processes. As the technical authority, you will handle computationally demanding tasks, particularly in spatial analytics and GIS-based product development. Additionally, I expect you to implement scientific research findings into production-ready code and collaborate with our Engineering department to align code design, versioning strategies, and release cycles.

Description


This is a remote role; however, you must be UK-based and not require a visa to work. We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer to join our client's Sustainability team as the lead technical specialist in our R-focused Research Software Engineering group. Your work will help develop innovative agricultural sustainability solutions and contribute to the organization’s mission of aiding farmers in transitioning toward more sustainable practices through science-backed analytics. If you meet the criteria outlined above, I encourage you to apply now!
