SENIOR MID AND JUNIOR JAVA DEVELOPERS

Are you great at what you do? Technically excellent for your experience level, cool in front of customers, and generous with your time with teammates. If you are positive in character, like to collaborate, learn and rapidly progress in your career please contact us.

Java Engineers please join us on an exciting Big Data project. As part of the client’s Data Platform the software engineering team’s mission is to build the foundations that will ultimately enable the derivation of insights from academic papers using machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) at more advanced stages of the project. These insights are used in customer-facing applications which enable them to be more productive and successful in their work. The first stage of development will involve creating a works registry which successfully extracts data from, and indexes multiple structured and unstructured sources of publication data. As a Senior Software Engineer you will develop innovative new systems using cutting edge technology, and partnering with Data Scientists.
