Job Description

As our portfolio of work continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join our global data science and machine learning team, to help us :

• Lead : Make the right technology choices in the context of the team’s projects
• Design : Ensure we design and build the models and tools to meet the functional / non-functional requirements, as well as being supportable
• Explore : Help the team understand and exploit emerging technologies
• Improve : Improve our software engineering skillsets, and grow as a team

The individual will work predominantly with our data scientists and machine learning engineers, but will also need to directly engage with the commercial teams (across trading, operations, support functions, etc.) as necessary.

The role will also act as a bridge between the Data Science team and other technology teams for areas like application integration, data sourcing, infrastructure and tooling.

For the successful candidate, this role will give them exposure across the machine learning lifecycle, being able to apply their skills wherever they can add value, from working with business stakeholders to help define the project, to data collation through to solution design and model implementation.

We are looking for a candidate who brings both a breadth and depth of experience, from a theoretical and practical perspective; but equally someone who is able to and wants to continue learning.

As a small team, everyone is expected to organise, prioritise and execute their own tasks; with a strong focus on maximising the business value from their actions. This means the individual will need to be comfortable working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing competing priorities and stakeholder requirements.

The successful candidate will join a team of experienced, collaborative practitioners, who are (pragmatically) solving some of the most challenging and impactful problems the energy industry is facing; as well as pushing the boundaries around the ‘art of the possible’.
