We're looking forward to having you on board!
Responsibilities The position requires a passion for science and engineering, paired with an ability to produce production-ready solutions while working closely with both product and research teams.
As a Safe Intelligence Senior Python Engineer , you will: Play a leadership and mentoring role in Python package and code development including strong modelling of best practice and efficient procedures.
Productise a set of Python packages and tools for use in machine learning applications that build on powerful algorithms developed by the research team.
Contribute towards making verification and robust-learning algorithms scalable and more efficient, and developing a clean, well-organised code-base that supports our goal of making these methods intuitive and easy to use by the wider community.
Work closely with the platform team to interface and containerise the packages and toolkits for scalable deployment.
Stay updated with the latest technologies and trends in Python development and actively contribute to the team's technical knowledge base.
Qualifications The technical requirements for the role are: Extensive professional experience as a Python-based developer.
Experience with modern Python development techniques and design patterns.
Experience developing highly parallelised applications using the multiprocessing library, including memory management.
Experience with widely used tools in data science and machine learning.
Developers should be somewhat familiar with libraries like NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and PyTorch.
Proficiency in testing approaches and frameworks like pytest as well as automation tools like Github Actions or Travis CI for maintaining code quality and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
Advanced proficiency with code maintenance tools and best practice, including Git and configuring workflows.
Additional beneficial experience includes: Experience using webhooks for real-time data delivery for use in communication between toolkits and platform.
Familiarity with CUDA and optimising highly parallelised GPU-based computations are a plus.
Familiarity with the end-to-end supervised training of neural networks and accompanying MLOps ecosystem are a plus.
Familiarity with other programming languages and frameworks At a personal level, we're also looking for someone who is: Passionate about delivering software to realise safe AI solutions in line with client needs.
Deeply technical and constantly in a state of learning.
Able to communicate clearly and efficiently with a variety of audiences, including developers, clients, researchers, partners, and executives.
Fearless in getting "hands-on" with technology and execution.
Has a strong understanding of modern software engineering processes.
Comfortable with ambiguity with a drive for clarity.
Collaborative with and respectful of others on the team.
Honest, straightforward, and caring about each other's well-being.
Equality and Inclusion We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and work hard to create an environment where people of diverse backgrounds and life experiences can thrive.
