Software Engineer - AI MLOps Oxford, England, United Kingdom

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

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
