Job Title: Senior Epidemiologist / RWE Programmer
Location: London (Hybrid)
Salary: £60,000 – £90,000 DOE
About the Role
A VC-backed biotech startup in London is looking for a senior-level epidemiologist / RWE programmer with strong coding skills to join their growing medical function.
You’ll be part of a company that’s challenging the traditional drug development model - building internal tools, partnering with biopharma teams, and delivering strategic, data-led solutions across the lifecycle of a development programme.
This is a hands-on, hybrid role that combines scientific depth with software fluency. Ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of real-world evidence, clinical data, and high-impact product development.
Key Responsibilities
Design and analyse non-interventional studies, including regulatory-grade and exploratory projects
Collaborate with engineering to build internal tools that support and scale RWE applications
Engage with external partners to guide RWE strategy and deliver high-quality outputs
Translate complex data into actionable insights for internal stakeholders and regulators
Lead protocol and SAP development, contribute to CSRs and publication strategy
Apply modern causal inference techniques to support study validity and robustness
Ideal Candidate
MSc/PhD in Epidemiology, Pharmacoepidemiology or a science-based subject (biochemistry etc)
Strong coding skills in SQL plus R or Python (this is non-negotiable)
Experience delivering end-to-end observational studies using real-world datasets
Proficient in study design, regulatory writing (protocols, SAPs, TFLs, CSRs)
Knowledge of coding systems (ICD, SNOMED, GPI, HCPCS) and RWD sources (claims, EHR, registries)
Familiar with regulatory trends around pragmatic trials, external control arms, and synthetic cohorts
Skilled in handling and cleaning messy, multimodal data
Confident using methods such as propensity score matching, IP weighting, and IV analysis
Excellent communication skills with the ability to distil complex findings for different audiences
Bonus Experience
Prior work in a startup, biotech or agile CRO
Experience building tools or reproducible workflows in collaboration with software engineers
Understanding of product development processes in tech-enabled life sciences companies
This is an opportunity to join a company that’s not just running studies, but building the future of drug development infrastructure.
