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.

Indeximate 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. We are permanently instrumenting subsea power cables that provide us with our vital electricity supplies and are using this data to reduce the risks of these cables failing.

Our 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 our 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 our technology, we are now looking for a talented Software Engineer to help accelerate our 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 targeted deployment environments are Google's Cloud Platform, utilising BigQuery and CloudRun.

The successful candidate will be a key member of the fast-growing Indeximate 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.

We welcome applications from part-time and full-time workers. The role will involve regular low frequency travel.

Your Skills

We are a cloud-based data science company, and this role is at the deep end of that experience, and we expect that candidates will have a clearly evident skillset in implementing cloud-based solutions. In addition, we'd 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! We look forward to hearing from you

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.
