Merj is looking for a dedicated, adaptable and enthusiastic software developer to form the bedrock of our development team. You must be ready to take ownership of your work and be able to meet deadlines, and should be interested in helping to establish good software engineering practices.

You will be supporting our consultants by creating and maintaining the tools that they use to produce insights from client data. You will initially be responsible for porting our existing tools from Ruby to Go and ensuring that they are ready for use on Windows, macOS, BSD and GNU/Linux.

You will be contributing to an ongoing effort to bring our existing tools to market by developing a polished user experience using the Qt Quick application framework, working in collaboration with our design team.

In the course of your work you will also need to help setup and administer servers.

This will give you the rare opportunity to work on many different kinds of problems.

We often work with very large data sets. The ideal candidate would be interested in computer science and mathematics and have some familiarity with Big-data, computer architecture and optimisation, but there will be plenty of opportunity for learning while doing.
