Software Engineer - Python

The R&D team are a small team of elite engineers that are ready to be deployed on the trickiest technical problems in the bank. 
Basically we are the ‘Delta Force’ for tough problems involving data and systems.  Some of our past missions included:

• Creating tools for data quality measurement, data analytics, visualizations, comparisons and for making predictions.
• Evaluating new libraries and products.  E.g. OpenAI LLM models or alternatives to Pandas DataFrames.
• Designing and building a high performance compressed data format/engine that could encapsulate an entire DB schema in a single file, achieving 50:1 compression while still allowing fast, serverless query processing.
• Designing an enterprise data archiving and lifecycle management system hosted in AWS.
• Development of execution engines for large graphs of data processing jobs.
• Developing algorithms for improved fuzzy matching of strings and documents.
• Developing a method for compressing similar business documents by factoring out common parts into a model, rearranging and other techniques in order to achieve 10-100x compression.

Primary Requirements

• Strong technical/analytical background in Computer Science or related subject.
• Solid software development skills using multiple programming languages.  E.g. Python, C#..NET, C++, Scala or JavaScript.
• Passionate about technology and learning with an open, but analytical approach to problem solving.
• Happy to work on a diverse range of problems and technologies.
• A proven problem solver who thrives on challenges.
• Good spoken and written English

Secondary Requirements

• Knowledge of or a strong interest in AI and machine learning techniques.
• Experience of working on Open Source projects.
• Web application development skills.  E.g. RestFul web services, GraphQL, ReactJS or similar.
• Knowledge of data formats, protocols, storage systems and query languages.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes and/or AWS Cloud.
• Experience of agile development, Git, CI/CD and infrastructure as code.
