The Alan Turing Institute
Named in honour of Alan Turing, the Institute is a place for inspiring, exciting work and we need passionate, sharp, and innovative people who want to use their skills to contribute to our mission to make great leaps in data science and AI research to change the world for the better.
Please find more information about us here .
Background
The Defence & Security programme at the Turing is looking to expand a high performing team of research engineers working on real-world problems aligned with securing the UK. Following in the footsteps of the institute’s namesake, Alan Turing, the team operates at the intersection of mathematics, engineering and computing and works in close collaboration with the Turing’s National Security partners.
Team Profile
The team practices an agile, experiment-driven approach and values a positive, supportive, and collaborative environment in which ‘radical candor’ and ‘lifelong learning’ are encouraged. We embrace failure as a learning opportunity and necessary precursor to success. We are empowered to take ownership of our work and operate with a high level of autonomy in our roles, to deliver measurable impact to our partners.
Duties And Areas of Responsibility
- Understand the problems of the Turing’s partners and develop appropriate approaches to solving these problems.
- Perform experiments and develop capabilities, which might include building and deploying machine learning models; applying data science, statistical and algorithmic techniques to data; building microservices, data processing/engineering systems and platforms or developing user interfaces and/or visualisations.
- Develop, implement and adapt state-of-the-art and novel data science and artificial intelligence techniques emerging from the Institute and elsewhere to problems faced by the Turing’s partners.
Person Specification
- Undergraduate-level degree or higher in computer science, data science, mathematics, statistics or a related-discipline.
- Professional experience in a field or sector with significant use of both computer programming and advanced algorithmic, statistical or numerical techniques.
- Fluency in one or more modern programming languages used in data science. In particular, we predominantly work in Python, but demonstrable use of other programming languages.
- An understanding of the importance of good practices for producing reliable software and reproducible analyses.
