Software Engineer – DICOM / Python | Oxford ID50879

Software Engineer – DICOM / Python | Oxford

Do you have hands-on experience working with DICOM?

Would you like to use that expertise in a Software Engineer role where you can take ownership of

technically interesting projects?

Looking for a growing team where you can develop your skills across Python, AWS, full-stack development and cloud technologies?

We’re recruiting a Software Engineer with DICOM experience for our client, an innovative technology business based in Oxford.

This is a great opportunity for someone with around 1–3 years’ software engineering experience who has worked with DICOM and wants to build on that specialist knowledge while developing a broader engineering skillset.

Why This Role is Great

You’ll get the opportunity to:

• Work extensively with DICOM and specialist data systems, using your existing knowledge to solve real technical challenges.
• Develop and maintain sophisticated cloud-based software using Python and modern engineering practices.
• Take ownership of technical problems and specific areas of development as your experience grows.
• Work across the full stack, giving you exposure beyond a narrowly defined development role.
• Build your knowledge of AWS, Linux, databases, CI/CD and test automation.
• Collaborate with engineering colleagues, technical specialists and end users to turn requirements into practical solutions.
• Contribute to code reviews and improvements in software quality, reliability and maintainability.
• Gain valuable experience developing software in a quality-focused environment where robust engineering really matters.

What We’re Looking For

DICOM or similar experience is the key requirement for this position.

Alongside this, our client’s wishlist includes:

• Around 1–3 years’ commercial software engineering experience.
• Strong programming skills in Python or a comparable language.
• Full-stack development experience.
• A good understanding of software engineering principles and practices.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• A relevant technical degree or equivalent practical experience.

Experience with FHIR, HL7, AWS, Linux, backend databases, CI/CD, TDD or BDD would be a bonus rather than a reason not to apply.

Exposure to regulated, highly controlled or quality-focused software environments would also be useful.

You certainly don’t need every skill listed. If you have solid software engineering fundamentals and genuine hands-on DICOM experience, we’d particularly like to hear from you.

What’s On Offer?

• Competitive salary
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Enhanced pension contribution
• Private medical insurance
• Life insurance
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• Additional long-service benefits
• Excellent opportunity for technical and professional development
