Join a pioneering startup using cutting-edge data technology to drive real-world impact on climate and infrastructure - where your code helps power the path to net zero.

Indeximate is a rapidly growing VC backed startup focussed on reducing the barriers to net zero using the fantastic wealth of data that can be obtained using fibre optic sensing. We are permanently instrumenting subsea power cables that provide us with our vital electricity supplies and are using this data to reduce the risks of these cables failing.

Our data has a myriad of other uses: monitoring the environment and the weather, mobility of the seabed, tracking marine mammals, detecting vessels and much more. One of our core goals is liberating these multiple measurements and delivering low-cost sensing as a service direct to the desktop.

With proprietary IP in data compression and analytics at the heart of our technology, we are now looking for a talented Software Engineer to help accelerate our growth and bring this ambitious vision to life.

The Role

This role requires a candidate to work on the cloud software infrastructure to process the uploaded data and turn it into actionable information for clients. This includes implementing algorithms in Python to process the data in the cloud. Our targeted deployment environments are Google's Cloud Platform, utilising BigQuery and CloudRun.

The successful candidate will be a key member of the fast-growing Indeximate team, working with Data Scientists and Software Engineers to turn the terabytes of data generated each day into information with a huge range of applications. Sensing data covering thousands of kilometres of assets worldwide needs to be stored and processed efficiently.

Key Accountabilities:

Data flow management and database optimisation
Development of scalable cloud-based Python implementations of cable health risk algorithms
Development of system monitoring and alerting for internal purposes
Ensure web security protocols are implemented and tightly adhered to
Testing of algorithm implementations against test datasets

Your Experience & Qualifications

You will be a UK citizen holding a graduate or extended degree in a relevant subject (Computer Science, Data science, Software Engineering, etc.) and have cemented those qualifications with at least three years or more of experience post degree working in a commercial cloud computing environment, exploiting Python and working with large scientific datasets.

We welcome applications from part-time and full-time workers. The role will involve regular low frequency travel.

Your Skills

We are a cloud-based data science company, and this role is at the deep end of that experience, and we expect that candidates will have a clearly evident skillset in implementing cloud-based solutions. In addition, we'd love to hear from candidates with:

Ability to implement cloud-based analytics solutions (Google BigQuery preferred) (essential)
Skilled in Python and data science computing and cloud computing integration (essential)
Demonstrable knowledge of key cloud security requirements and protocol implementation
Ability to assess and integrate new technologies
Self-motivated with a desire to improve products and technology
Ability to work independently as well as within a small team
Rigorous approach to testing and code quality
Comfortable with remote working

Salary and Benefits:

Competitive salary (£60,000 – £70,000 DOE)
Company shares ownership in a fast-growing startup
Company life insurance policy
25 days annual leave
Remote working
Travel, food and drinks are fully covered for all team meet ups

Apply directly to express your interest! We look forward to hearing from you

Top 10 UK Universities for Cloud Computing Degrees & Research (2025 Guide)

AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud now sit behind almost every modern app, and UK employers—from fintechs in Shoreditch to NHS data-science teams—are hiring cloud specialists faster than universities can graduate them. IDC expects the British public-cloud market to clear £25 billion in 2025, while job boards show “cloud architect” and “DevOps with Kubernetes” salaries routinely topping £70k. UK universities have responded with a wave of cloud-first master’s degrees, research centres and AWS- or Azure-aligned certificate tracks. Whether you want to optimise GPU clusters, build server-less back-ends or design multi-cloud security policies, there’s a programme that fits. Below are the ten universities we see leading the charge for the 2025 intake, plus tips on turning an academic credential into a career in cloud.

Veterans in Cloud Computing: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into Cloud Careers

Introduction The United Kingdom’s public‑cloud market will exceed £45 billion by 2026 (Gartner forecast), fuelled by government digital‑service mandates, fintech scale‑ups, and the MOD’s own Cloud Strategic Roadmap 2025. From hybrid defence networks to NHS electronic health records, almost every mission‑critical workload is moving to AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). That explosive demand collides with a nationwide skills shortage—over 135,000 unfilled cloud roles in 2024, according to TechUK. Veterans already possess the security clearances, network know‑how, and operational discipline that cloud employers crave. This guide shows you how to translate your military experience into cloud‑native language, leverage Ministry of Defence (MoD) transition funding, and secure a rewarding second career (with salaries starting at £40k and rising above £100k for cleared DevSecOps leads).
