## About the Role

* Top Computer Science education - likely a first class degree from Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial or similar and possible a PhD.
 * Commercial software engineering experience using modern typed Python, Docker and PostgreSQL. Most probably also used a compiled language like Go or Rust. Additional experience with modern frontend technologies would be desirable.
