Proposals for introduction of new services, or transformation of existing ones, to meet the strategic objectives of the Crick.
Support the Development teams to develop, test and operate new enterprise software services.
About you
You will have:
Degree level education, ideally in Computer Science or related STEM subject (or equivalent experience).
Experience working on IT/Software projects.
