• Interest in cloud technologies: e.g. AWS or Azure.
• Eligibility to work in the UK.

Nice to have:

• Understanding of software engineering best practices.
• Some exposure to applied experience, e.g., internships, research projects, or personal projects.
• Familiarity with DevOps tools like Kubernetes, HashiCorp Nomad, Docker.
• Keen interest in data-flow pipelines, databases, simulation, machine learning and/or security;
• Ability to deal with ambiguity and change, in a high-growth environment, while maintaining high standards of quality and attention to detail.
• Customer interaction experience.

Bonus:

• Existing interest in standard machine learning and deep-learning packages (scikit-learn, Keras, PyTorch);
• Existing interest in data science and simulation workflows in the manufacturing, energy or chemical process industries;
• Experience with high-performance computing (HPC).
