Job description

The successful candidate will be joining a forward-thinking team engaged in applied research on decentralisation technologies, including Web3, Metaverse, Mixed Reality, and Artificial Intelligence. The primary responsibility will involve hands-on development work to bring PoC ideas to life, in collaboration with senior researchers. This is an opportunity to explore challenges within emerging technologies, applying deep programming language skills to real-world problems, to generate tangible outcomes encompassing both software and hardware components.

This role is well-suited for a polyglot programmer or a generalist software engineer possessing a robust understanding of mathematics and algorithms and a curious mindset. The candidate is expected to employ their expertise to identify suitable technology options and iterate towards solutions for complex problems through coding a series of PoC applications. This requires leveraging programming languages, APIs frameworks, and platforms to develop applications compatible with web, smartphones, and other emerging hardware. The candidate will showcase advocacy for their specialist area and stay updated on the latest research, technology, and trends, contributing to project direction and methodologies.

Main Responsibilities:

• Hands-on development work within the Decentralization Research group, under the supervision of senior researchers.

• Engage with the broader interdisciplinary team to develop and integrate Proof of Concepts (PoCs) within their respective research domains.

• Take ownership of work packages related to PoC and application development, utilizing a variety of programming languages, APIs, and application development frameworks across diverse hardware platforms.

• Communicating complex technology concepts and results to stakeholders, including non-technical audiences.

• Researching wider technical and economic situation and actively proposing projects/ PoCs and activities to senior management (bottom-up approach).

• Travel within the UK (and EU) to attend conferences, suppliers, workshops, and seminars.

Qualifications, skills and experience:

Required

• University degree in a related field e.g. Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or an equiv. science or analytical discipline.

• Demonstratable experience in R&D or strong development experience in technology, quantitative finance or opensource software community.

• Proven fundamental knowledge in programming languages like Rust, Swift, Haskell, Go etc.

• Experience that includes any of Web, Mobile, Cloud and similar application development frameworks and tools.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to document simple narratives to explain complex issues/systems and be able to adapt communication style to suit different audiences.

• Proactive and self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Familiarity with software architecture design and software design patterns.

• Familiarity with Cryptography, Economics, Statistics, Distributed ledger technologies, protocols and algorithms.

• Experience with dApps, digital assets, tokenisation, DAO, DeFi protocols.

• Experience with Cloud Native software development and cloud service providers e.g. AWS.

• Experience with UX/UI design, wireframing and prototyping tools, accessibility requirements.

• Post graduate qualification e.g. Masters in a related field.
