Our values—
Ambitious, Humble, People‑Focused, and Fair & Responsible define our approach to innovation, partnership, and growth. If you believe in making a meaningful difference in healthcare and want to be part of a purpose‑driven company with bold ambitions, now is the time to join us.

CMR is an exciting and evolving company to be joining right now. Our commitment to our goal of building a world‑class medical devices company is underpinned by the ground‑breaking innovation of our next generation of surgical robots and a diverse team of talented and supportive individuals.

We’re breaking new ground which makes working here exciting, it provides autonomy, opportunity and makes the things you do visible. Come and join us and see what you’re capable of.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join CMR Surgical and help us build the data platforms, services, and infrastructure that enable more patients to benefit from minimal access surgery using the Versius Surgical System.

You’ll join our Data department, where we work with telemetry streaming from hundreds of devices around the world and build platforms and products that support surgeons and teams across the business. The technical breadth of what we tackle is wide and varied — from event‑driven data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, microservices, databases, and data warehouses, to digital products, data analysis, and AI models.

We care deeply about outcomes and always keep the real‑world impact of our work in mind. You’ll be working on systems that genuinely matter, alongside people who value engineering quality, collaboration, ownership, and continuous learning.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex data and software engineering problems, can take ownership of technical decisions, and wants to help build reliable, scalable, and maintainable systems that make Versius data available for a wide range of use cases across CMR.

This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of 1 day per week in our Cambridge office, plus additional time on‑site when needed.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing, building, maintaining, and improving the services and infrastructure that make Versius data available across CMR. You’ll work on systems that need to be reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable, while helping other engineers grow and supporting teams across the business to unlock value from data.

You will:

• Design, build, and improve data pipelines that help us understand real use of Versius in the hospitals.
• Develop high-quality software, primarily using Python, to support data processing, cloud services, APIs, and internal platforms.
• Work with event-driven and streaming data architectures on AWS to make data available with low latency for a wide range of use cases.
• Take ownership of services and technical areas, helping work progress through the full software development lifecycle — from understanding the problem, through design and delivery, to operation and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to the design and evolution of existing and new systems, making pragmatic technical decisions that balance quality, speed, cost, reliability, and long‑term maintainability.
• Build and operate cloud-native data solutions using AWS services, Infrastructure-as-Code, containers, databases, data lakes, and related technologies.
• Promote high-quality engineering practices across the team, including clean code, testing, code reviews, CI/CD, observability, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders across the business, including Product, R&D, Clinical, Commercial, and other engineering teams, to understand real-world needs and translate them into robust technical solutions.
• Help make data available to support analytics, AI research, product development, operational insight, and a deeper…
