The Company

Abtrace is solving one of the most complex and impactful challenges in healthcare: enabling primary care to deliver proactive, preventative care at scale.

Our team of doctors, researchers, software engineers and data scientists combines clinical expertise, advanced software engineering and AI to build clinical algorithms that help primary care clinicians identify risks earlier and intervene sooner.

We are building digital health technology that delivers personalised Population Health interventions at scale. Our platform continuously analyses patients’ health records to identify early signals of deterioration, emerging disease and opportunities for preventative care—helping clinicians act before problems become more serious.

Today, our technology is deployed across more than 600 primary care practices, supporting care for 7.5 million patients.

The Role

We’re looking for a Data Scientist (Mid/Senior) to join our team.

• Collaborate with a small, close-knit and diverse multidisciplinary team of developers, data scientists and doctors.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Python and SQL
• Excellent knowledge of machine learning and MLOps
• Experience with natural language processing (NLP), particularly transformer-based approaches
• Experience with AWS cloud infrastructure, including services such as SageMaker and Athena

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with dbt or a comparable data transformation framework
• Experience with time-series analysis, survival analysis, or longitudinal modelling

Benefits

• Competitive salary depending on experience
• Private Pension
• Generous maternity/paternity leave
• Flexi working & possibility for remote working
• Company's office in Paddington - easy commute and comfortable surroundings
• Motivated, highly functioning, multi-disciplinary team
