For PhD-level researchers and research engineers who publish and ship code.

Domain: Algorithms and Theory (graph, approximation, streaming and online algorithms with reference implementations)

The work

Hands-on research coding in your own area, close to the work you already do. Each task is self-contained, and the project lead walks you through the full scope and a worked example once you're onboarded. Work is asynchronous, so you can fit it around your own research.

Application process

Candidates who meet the requirements and provide the requested materials will be prioritised for review. As part of this process we conduct thorough background checks. Please apply only if you meet these requirements.
