Ellison Institute of Technology Oxford

Data Engineer

• Partner with scientists and engineers to deliver robust, reproducible data pipelines that meet research needs across disciplines.
• Own ingestion, storage, curation, and transformation of multimodal data, including text, images, structured/tabular data, and high I/O formats such as Arrow/NetCDF/HDF5.
• Package and deploy code in research environments using containers (e.g. Docker).
• Scale processing across distributed cloud warehouses/storage via container orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes), distributed compute frameworks (e.g. Spark, Ray), or High-Performance Compute (e.g. Slurm).
• Work with sensitive data in line with security and compliance requirements (audit trails, encryption, GDPR, RBAC/ABAC).
• Contribute to an engineering culture that values maintainability, testing, robust system design, and deep collaboration, but allows flexibility for rapid prototyping and responsiveness to changing landscapes.
• Disperse data engineering best practices into the research and applied teams, ensuring datasets used for AI models are well-structured and ready for training.

Security Operations

• Operate and continuously enhance security monitoring across endpoints, servers, cloud platforms, and networks.
• Tune and maintain SIEM tools (including Sophos Taegis, SentinelOne EDR, and OCI security tooling) to improve detection accuracy.
• Investigate and triage security alerts, escalating and responding appropriately.
• Act as a responder for security incidents, supporting containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Produce clear incident documentation, including reports and root‑cause analysis.
• Develop and refine detection rules, automation workflows, and threat‑based use cases.
• Apply threat intelligence to improve detection coverage in complex research environments.
• Support vulnerability scanning, prioritisation, and remediation tracking.
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders to embed secure practices into day‑to‑day operations.
• Contribute to runbooks, documentation, audits, compliance activities, and risk assessments.
