About the Role

We’re looking for a highly capable Senior Data/Software Engineer who combines deep technical software engineering expertise with a strong understanding of data processing and analysis. This role is central to the development of scalable data systems and high-performance applications. You'll be working in a Linux-first environment, writing robust code in Python, Rust, C++ and contributing to a range of projects involving infrastructure, data engineering, and performance-critical applications.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain high-quality, high-performance data pipelines using Python and Rust.
  • Write infrastructure-as-code for managing Linux-based systems and services.
  • Analyse large and complex datasets, writing custom tools and scripts where needed.
  • Collaborate across engineering and data teams to support data-driven decision-making.
  • Contribute to infrastructure projects and system-level programming as needed.
  • Review and work with code in Python, Rust, and occasionally C++ for integration or debugging.


What We're Looking For

  • Strong programming experience inPythonandRust(Rust is a significant plus).
  • Solid grasp of Linux environments; comfortable working deep in the OS.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
  • Proven track record in software engineering roles with strong exposure to data processing.
  • Comfortable wearing multiple hats—software development, data analysis, and infrastructure.
  • Ability to work independently, troubleshoot effectively, and avoid unnecessary dependencies.
  • A strong systems thinker with a low-level understanding of how data and computation interact.


Preferred Background

  • Experience in high-performance computing environments.
  • Previous work in gaming, trading, or similar industries where performance and data are critical.
  • Exposure to C++ is beneficial for understanding legacy systems or performance code

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
