Our LINQ platform is the software that plans, schedules, and drives life-science labs. Our clients run labs for cancer diagnostics, drug discovery, cell manufacturing, synthetic biology and more. This role owns the interface to the lab — not just the UI, but every surface someone builds on or acts through: the app a scientist touches, the APIs and SDK an integrator builds on, the CLI an engineer scripts with, the agent surface a model acts through. Most product interfaces are forms over a database. Ours front a physical world that changes by itself — robots act, schedules change, instruments fail — and every one of those surfaces has to keep its user genuinely in control. We're building the next generation of our interfaces — AI-native from the ground up: personalised to role and behaviour, UI generated on the fly where it earns its place, and agents working in the product alongside the people using it. This is a role for someone user-obsessed — the platform underneath is...

Trust unlocks our greatest potential. For decades, the clearing of payments remained unchanged and unchallenged. We asked, what if there was a better way? What if we could make banking infrastructure faster, safer, more reliable, and easier to access for all? Here is where you can think radically and responsibly to find the best solution. What happens when you know you’re inherently trusted? Trust creates safety. Safety encourages you to be brave, to challenge, to fail, to try new things and to execute. At ClearBank everything revolves around trust. We’re not expected to earn it, but we are expected not to break it. We’re trusted to own it. To solve issues in the moment. To know a good risk when we see one, and the judgement to know that ‘can’ doesn’t always mean you ‘should’. What You Can Expect ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy and...
