On a day-to-day basis you’ll be writing code in Java and/or TypeScript, as well as taking responsibility for all relevant steps of the software development lifecycle i.e. planning, implementation, QA and maintenance. You will also take a hands-on role in managing and improving our deployment infrastructure i.e. CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes and Azure. Other aspects of the role will include investigating issues, providing input into user interface designs, and assisting researchers and data scientists to develop and deploy machine learning models.

For further details please see the accompanying Job Description.

Essential requirements

We expect you to have relevant programming experience in academia and/or industry using Java and/or TypeScript.  You will need knowledge of software development best practices, including DevOps e.g. Git, Docker, Kubernetes.
