At Bitfount our goal is to make the world’s intractable data interactable.
The limitations of current data infrastructure have created painful, slow, expensive and often ineffective workarounds for what should be seamless collaborations between trusted partners. So we're building a missing piece of global infrastructure: a secure network to enable organisations to send algorithms to data. This means they can share the benefits of their data with each other, without having to go through the painful and risky process of moving it around, without compromising its privacy, and without even needing to expose any raw data.
Right now, we’re heads-down on applying our platform to the problem of clinical trial recruitment in the Healthcare space. We’re enabling privacy-preserving collaboration between healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies, which will remove a major friction point in the process, and help ensure critical medicines make it through trials and into the hands of those who need them much sooner.

You are an experienced engineer, with a track record of successfully leveraging the foundations of modern software engineering practices, with a passion for performance and reliability. You take ownership of your work and see things through. You emphasise code quality and testing and are comfortable with high quality software practices (including code reviews, testing practices, and software design).
You are excited by the opportunity to improve our Python-based ML framework's reliability and performance across various hardware and OS configurations. You like to work in a diverse team, relish participating in team-led discussions, and are an effective team player. You continually strive to improve engineering standards and shape best practices within the teams you work.
You are energised by our mission to safely unlock the value of data for the benefit of humankind - as we expect you to play an important part in our mission to deliver this goal!
You will be working with the team developing our cutting-edge desktop application and its associated python backend. The app allows users to deploy, use, and build ML models collaboratively, as well as perform data analytics - all in a privacy-preserving, easy-to-use manner. The app runs on the user’s own hardware rather than in the cloud, and therefore faces unique challenges in remaining both flexible and robust despite being deployed across disparate hardware and software environments.
