Overview
We are Continuum Industries. A seed-stage startup developing tools for engineers to create better infrastructure. Our tools help to design infrastructure such as railways, roads, pipelines or power lines. The final value of our product is that it helps to get clean water from its source to your hot shower, packets of data from a data centre to your computer and electricity from a wind farm to your light bulb. We were founded in June 2018 with initial angel funding from Skyscanner's Gareth Williams. Since then, we have closed our first big enterprise customers and we're now gearing up to openly launch our product to the world, but we can't cope with the work on our own. We were founded in June 2018 with initial angel funding from Skyscanner's Gareth Williams. Since then, we have closed our first big enterprise customers and we're now gearing up to openly launch our product to the world, but we can't cope with the work on our own. To accomplish this, we just raised a £1.5M seed investment round from Credo Ventures and Playfair Capital. With this funding, we're offering you employment certainty in the tricky times of the ongoing recession. Currently, we're a crew of ten and we're looking to expand our engineering and product team to develop and launch the fully standalone version of our optimisation engine. OVERVIEW: We are looking for software engineers to expand our ability to work with more customers and scale the product, both in terms of features and reliability. The role will helicopter between working on the core of the algorithm, deployment and maintenance of the optimiser to the cloud as well as development of internal tools used to better understand the performance of the optimisation engine. LOCATION: CodeBase in Central Edinburgh with opportunities to move to London if of interest in the future. WE ARE LOOKING FOR FAMILIARITY WITH: Python Software development principles Testing Versioning Go Deployment of software to a cloud platform Passing familiarity with databases (SQL and noSQL) However, we firmly believe that any (and/or all) of these can be learned on the job. WE THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY THIS ROLE IF YOU: Get bored easily if you’re working on the same thing for too long Enjoy deploying production code Like working with a large degree of autonomy WHAT WE OFFER: Decent salary, share ownership options, pension and office coffee served by the CEO Ownership of your work and lots of independence Flexible working Personal training budget Exposure to big engineering companies and the startup world We also don’t really count the days on annual leave
