Job description

Join a pioneering startup using cutting-edge data technology to drive real-world impact on climate and infrastructure - where your code helps power the path to net zero.

Our client is a rapidly growing VC backed startup focussed on reducing the barriers to net zero using the fantastic wealth of data that can be obtained using fibre optic sensing. They are permanently instrumenting subsea power cables that provide them with their vital electricity supplies and are using this data to reduce the risks of these cables failing.

Their data has a myriad of other uses: monitoring the environment and the weather, mobility of the seabed, tracking marine mammals, detecting vessels and much more. One of their core goals is liberating these multiple measurements and delivering low-cost sensing as a service direct to the desktop.

With proprietary IP in data compression and analytics at the heart of their technology, they are now looking for a talented Software Engineer to help accelerate their growth and bring this ambitious vision to life.

The Role

This role requires a candidate to work on the cloud software infrastructure to process the uploaded data and turn it into actionable information for clients. This includes implementing algorithms in Python to process the data in the cloud. Our client’s targeted deployment environments are Google's Cloud Platform, utilising BigQuery and CloudRun.

The successful candidate will be a key member of the fast-growing team, working with Data Scientists and Software Engineers to turn the terabytes of data generated each day into information with a huge range of applications. Sensing data covering thousands of kilometres of assets worldwide needs to be stored and processed efficiently.

Key Accountabilities:

• Data flow management and database optimisation
• Development of scalable cloud-based Python implementations of cable health risk algorithms
• Development of system monitoring and alerting for internal purposes
• Ensure web security protocols are implemented and tightly adhered to
• Testing of algorithm implementations against test datasets

Your Experience & Qualifications

You will be a UK citizen holding a graduate or extended degree in a relevant subject (Computer Science, Data science, Software Engineering, etc.) and have cemented those qualifications with at least three years or more of experience post degree working in a commercial cloud computing environment, exploiting Python and working with large scientific datasets.

Our client welcomes applications from part-time and full-time workers. The role will involve regular low frequency travel.

Your Skills

Our client is a cloud-based data science company, and this role is at the deep end of that experience, and they expect that candidates will have a clearly evident skillset in implementing cloud-based solutions. In addition, they would love to hear from candidates with:

• Ability to implement cloud-based analytics solutions (Google BigQuery preferred) (essential)
• Skilled in Python and data science computing and cloud computing integration (essential)
• Demonstrable knowledge of key cloud security requirements and protocol implementation
• Ability to assess and integrate new technologies
• Self-motivated with a desire to improve products and technology
• Ability to work independently as well as within a small team
• Rigorous approach to testing and code quality
• Comfortable with remote working

Salary and Benefits:

• Competitive salary (£60,000 – £70,000 DOE)
• Company shares ownership in a fast-growing startup
• Company life insurance policy
• 25 days annual leave
• Remote working
• Travel, food and drinks are fully covered for all team meet ups

Apply directly to express your interest! Our client looks forward to hearing from you.
