IRIS is continuing to grow its Data Science team as the business relies more heavily on data to support reporting, decision-making and future initiatives across finance, sales and operations.

This is a newly created role to support the ongoing development ofABIOS, our internal data platform. ABIOS is used daily by teams across the business and plays an important role in areas such as billing, reporting and operational insight, supporting around £500k of monthly revenue.

The role would suit someone who enjoys working with SQL, likes understanding how data is used in a real business context, and wants to be close to the problems theyre solving rather than working on isolated technical tasks.

Why This Role Matters

ABIOS underpins a lot of day-to-day activity at IRIS. It brings together data from multiple core systems and makes it usable for teams who rely on accurate, timely information.

• Used by over 700 internal users each day
• Supports billing, finance and operational reporting
• Helps teams view, update and work with trusted data
• Continues to evolve as the business grows and changes

Youll help keep the platform running smoothly while also contributing to improvements and future changes, including a move towards a hybrid Azure / AWS environment.

About the Team You’ll Join

Youll join a small team of Business Intelligence Developers within the wider Data Science function, reporting into the Senior Manager, Data Science.

• Testing changes and new features to ensure they work as expected
• Working with internal teams (such as Finance and Sales) to understand what data they need
• Documenting solutions and creating simple user guides
• Supporting wider Data Science BAU activity when needed

As you become more familiar with the platform, youll take on more ownership and start contributing to how solutions are designed, not just built.

What Were Looking For

This role is suited to someone with a solid foundation who is keen to develop further.

Youll ideally have:

• Commercial experience working withSQL and data manipulation
• Strong Excel / Microsoft 365 skills
• Experience working with data in a business environment
• A structured, organised approach and good attention to detail
• The ability to explain technical topics clearly to non-technical colleagues

Experience in the following would be useful but isnt essential:

• Postgres, MySQL or similar databases

More importantly, were looking for someone who is:

• Curious and keen to learn
• Comfortable asking questions and picking up new systems
• Practical and solution-focused
• Happy working as part of a team but able to take ownership of tasks
• Willing to put the effort in and grow with the role

What Youll Gain

• A role that supportscore business activity, not side projects
• Clear ownership and responsibility as you build confidence
• Exposure to cloud platforms and modern data practices
• Support and on-the-job learning from an experienced team
• Opportunities to develop towardsmore advanced data work over time

Are you interested in a leading role to shape the infrastructure and systems of one of the worlds most widely used scientific data resources?

Ensembl is the leading resource for exploring and analysing genomes, used by researchers globally on a daily basis. In recent years, Ensembl has seen a substantial increase in the number of genomes across the tree of life, as well as increasing depth of annotation and resources around key model organisms and humans. We have conducted an extensive multi-year program to re-engineer our infrastructure to meet these challenges and sustainably continue to support researchers using our tools and services. At the heart of this program is our new website (https://beta.ensembl.org), which is built around a service-orientated architecture delivering large quantities of data to a modern and responsive front-end client application. Many key components, including the incorporation of new AI based tools, remain to be developed.

We are enthusiastic to announce a new EMBL Faculty role to head our ongoing developments whilst continuing to meet emerging demands of Ensembl as the Genomics Technology Infrastructure Team Leader at EMBL-EBI.

Your role

You will also be a lead contact with EMBL-EBIs IT Technical Services, who provide the underlying IT infrastructure behind our resources.

In this role, you will use your knowledge of systems architecture and design to guide your team to develop sustainable, scalable solutions. You will also coordinate the development of new interfaces and tools alongside the maintenance of existing tools and codebases including migration of these to new technologies and infrastructure. Your knowledge and experience will be key to developing achievable strategies and roadmaps in a collaborative approach with colleagues in the wider Ensembl team. An essential part of this role is anticipating future demands from biological research, evaluating technical advances and balancing these with the continued delivery of key priorities.

As you progress in this role, you will develop a deep understanding of EMBL-EBIs resources and the communities we serve. This will include directly engaging with research communities, industry partners and global standards organisations such as the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health. You will be given the opportunity to work with a talented and driven workforce who work towards a shared vision of delivering the very best scientific resources.

We seek an individual who has a passion for technology, creating impactful resources, scenario and strategic planning, fundraising, developing staff and taking a leading role in key collaborations with international consortia and organisations.
