## About the Role

This software engineering role sits at the intersection of powerful analytics, a valuable repository of real-world data, and an internet-facing API using GraphQL. You'll build the core services which enable advanced queries via a powerful API of your design.

To join this capable, engaged and friendly team of software engineers, you'll need a primarily software engineering skillset. Additional knowledge or interest in machine learning, big data, statistics and/or predictive analytics is relevant, but not essential.

The requirements:

 * Extensive software engineering skills, including fluency in Python and potentially C#, JavaScript, TypeScript and/or React, one of which may be a specialty.
 * Fluency in different software development paradigms which may include functional, procedural and object-oriented, through experience, will give a good grounding for mapping between a structured hierarchical query model and different execution subsystems, some of which may employ machine learning. An interest in compilers or DSLs may do the same.
 * An appreciation of good web API design practice and execution - considering its surface area, specificity, query volumes, metering and similar concerns.
 * Plus familiarity with relational databases and classical queries, joins, etc.

Experience of GraphQL specifically, and/or the AWS cloud, Docker containers and/or Elasticsearch are also advantageous.
