IT Technical Developer/Support Engineer

IXICO plc (AIM: IXI), is a leading neuroimaging Contract Research Organization (CRO), delivering advanced Ai analytical insights in neuroscience to the global clinical trials market. Established in 2004, listed as a public company in 2013, IXICO has firmly established itself as a trusted partner to the global life sciences industry, supporting the development of new therapies for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.

With our focus on neuroscience, our purpose is to advance human health by turning data into clinically valuable insights; helping our clients reduce clinical development risk and improve return on investment from their clinical development programmes. We achieve this by combining Ai machine learning imaging biomarker analysis, together with centralised neuroimaging CRO services to provide an integrated service covering every stage of clinical development through to post-marketing surveillance. We are committed to invest in continuously enhancing our validated and peer reviewed disease optimised machine learning Ai analytics services and our infrastructure and technology to support our ambitious growth strategy. Our people are empowered to enable us to achieve our company goals and their own personal development through the “4A” values at the heart of our culture: To help us deliver our medical image analysis solutions to large clinical trials we are hiring an experienced and passionate Developer/Support Engineer to join our dynamic team on a permanent full-time capacity.

This role supports both our legacy and new cloud based clinical trial imaging platforms, ensuring the seamless operation and ongoing development of these critical systems.

Manage and triage support queues, ensuring efficient and timely resolution of technical issues.
Design, implement, and maintain scripts to streamline data management and platform configuration.
Collaborate with development teams to help interpret and implement new requirements.
Act as a support and knowledge resource for developers, testers, and other technical staff.
Engage in feature development on both platforms, supporting ongoing innovation.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
Strong practical experience in programming using scripting languages (Bash, Python).
Strong proficiency with Linux/Unix environments.
Solid understanding of database systems (SQL, CosmosDB).
Proven experience in troubleshooting complex system issues and providing technical support.
Proficiency in applied Java and/or C# development.
Knowledge of medical image analysis and DICOM standards.
Understanding of design patterns and best practices in software development.
