Cheminformatics Software Developer (Full Stack)

📍 Glasgow | 💻 Hybrid/On-site | 🔬 Full-time

Are you passionate about combining chemistry, software, and AI to push the boundaries of what’s possible in scientific discovery? We’re seeking a Cheminformatics Software Developer (Full Stack) to help develop cutting-edge computational tools that accelerate chemical research and automation.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement cheminformatics algorithms for retrosynthesis, reaction prediction, and chemical space exploration.

  • Build scalable full-stack applications (frontend + backend) that integrate these algorithms into research platforms.

  • Curate and manage chemical datasets for machine learning applications.

  • Develop and deploy AI/ML models to support chemical synthesis planning and prediction.

  • Create and maintain robust data infrastructures, including relational and graph databases.

  • Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams of chemists, engineers, and software developers.

    Skillset required:

  • PhD in Computer Science, Cheminformatics, Data Science, Bioinformatics, or equivalent experience.

  • 3+ years’ experience in full-stack software development (React, FastAPI, Django, Node.js, etc.).

  • Strong background in cheminformatics concepts and toolkits (RDKit, SMARTS/SMIRKS).

  • Proficiency with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).

  • Experience deploying applications in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

  • Knowledge of modern software practices (CI/CD, Git, testing, code review).

  • Excellent communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical teams.

    Nice-to-have skills:

  • Hands-on experience with retrosynthesis tools.

  • Familiarity with databases (SQL, NoSQL, graph).

  • Experience deploying and scaling AI/ML applications.

  • Knowledge of HPC environments and large-scale data pipelines.

  • Leadership or mentoring in interdisciplinary teams.

    Why join?

    This is a chance to be part of a growing team shaping the future of automated chemical discovery. You’ll work at the intersection of chemistry, robotics, software, and AI, turning ground-breaking research into real-world applications

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Robotics Jobs Hub

Robotics is reshaping industries—manufacturing, health care, agriculture, logistics, and beyond. From industrial robots assembling vehicles to surgical robots assisting complex procedures, and from drone deliveries to autonomous inspection systems, the boundaries of what robots can achieve are expanding daily. With rising demand for automation, productivity, and intelligent systems, organisations both public and private are investing heavily in robotics technologies. This surge in adoption has triggered increased demand for professionals skilled in robotics engineering, AI-enabled control systems, hardware design, and integration. The United Kingdom possesses the essential components to become a global robotics jobs hub: world-class research institutions, innovative robotics firms, strong industrial bases, and supportive policy frameworks. This article explores why the UK is well-positioned, where demand is growing, the career paths emerging, and what must occur to fully establish robotics as a powerhouse in UK employment.
