Distributed Compute Developer (Python) - London - Up to £225k + Benefits

Salary: up to £225,000 P/A

Location: London

The role:

We are looking for a Distributed Compute Engineer to help build the backbone of a next-generation compute platform designed to operate at extreme scale.

In this role, you will design and develop the systems responsible for orchestrating, scheduling, and executing workloads across vast distributed environments. This is not simply backend development—this is engineering the machinery that turns thousands of machines into a single, cohesive, highly efficient compute engine.

You’ll work on problems that sit at the core of modern infrastructure: resource allocation, fault tolerance, task scheduling, data locality, and system throughput. Expect to design services that remain performant under pressure, recover gracefully from failure, and scale without friction.

Working closely with platform engineers, data teams, and research groups, you will identify inefficiencies across distributed workloads...
