If you’re recently graduated or graduating this year with qualifications covering maths or a maths-related discipline as well as software engineering, value personal well-being, thrive on problem solving, and want to continue learning, we have a fantastic opportunity for you.

About the role
You would be joining our team of eleven in-house developers. Day to day work will involve working with our teams of statistical researchers and product owners to create, maintain and optimise code written mostly in R and C++, but also in C#, that runs as part of our mathematical models.
