The roles require experience in Linux environments, collaborative project management via platforms such as GitHub, and effective communication of technical solutions to diverse stakeholders.

Beyond technical contributions, responsibilities include managing and coordinating team activities, ensuring operational efficiency, and fostering strong relationships internally and externally.

Qualifications include a PhD (or equivalent industry experience) in Computer Science, Geographic Information Science, or a related discipline with a strong programming background, and awareness of quantitative methods and social science datasets. These roles are eligible for sponsorship under the skilled worker route.

Salary: £46,735 - £59,139 per annum.
