You’ll be a key member of one of our multidisciplinary innovation pods, leveraging your unique experience, and expertise to make creative contributions to both our product and technical platform.

What will I be doing?

As a Software Engineer you will:

    • Develop technical plans and contribute to our technical architecture as we scale our products to be the world’s leading research platform

  • Experience working in a collaborative environment with other functional experts (e.g. other engineering teams, product, design, data science, domain experts…). 
  • A laser focus on delivering value to your users
  • Experience of building reliable and performant back end systems, from scratch, and improving/refactoring existing.
