Senior Python software engineer - with strong Maths background


Are you a software engineer who thrives on building robust, scalable products with a strong foundation in mathematics and analytics? We’re specifically looking for an engineer—not a data scientist—to join ScanmarQED as a Senior Python Software Engineer and play a key role in developing the core technology behind our Pulse platform—a product used by leading companies worldwide to solve complex optimization and modeling challenges. You’ll collaborate with an international team, take ownership of product modules, and help drive innovation in our software architecture. Flexible work options are available in the UK, the Netherlands, or remotely.


What will you be doing?

  • Design, develop, and maintain robust well designed Python-based modules that apply advanced optimization techniques and provide analytics for our Pulse product.
  • Implement and optimize algorithms for econometric marketing mix modeling, forecasting, and advanced analytics.
  • Tackle large-scale data processing, model optimization, and real-world forecasting challenges. Build and enhance software capable of efficiently processing large-scale data, focusing on product functionality and performance (please note this role is not about data ingestion).
  • Ensure high code quality through thorough unit and integration testing along with well documented code, promoting long-term stability and maintainability.
  • Apply SOLID principles and appropriate design patterns to ensure scalable and maintainable architecture.
  • Work with modern technologies including SciPy, NumPy, Pandas, SQL, cloud platforms, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tools.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (data science, consultants, development) across the Netherlands, UK, and US, with a focus on time zone overlap with NL/UK.
  • Take ownership of key modules and contribute to the continuous improvement of our analytics platform.
  • Review code, share knowledge, and contribute to best practices within the team.

Skills, Experience, And Education You’ll Need

  • Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience with Python, including scientific libraries (especially SciPy + Pandas).
  • Master’s degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, or a closely related quantitative field.
  • Very strong background in mathematics, analytics, or statistical modelling with a proven ability to implement these using Python and its associated libraries
  • Experience in developing analytic and optimization solutions in a product environment.
  • Valuable: Experience with marketing mix modeling, forecasting, or econometric/statistical modeling.
  • Valuable: Familiarity with NumPy, SQL, cloud platforms, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD tools.
  • Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to shape the analytics engine that drives marketing decisions for global brands.
  • Collaborate with a highly skilled, international team.

How Many Quantum Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Quantum Computing Job?

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting frontiers in science and technology — and the job market reflects that excitement. But for aspiring practitioners, the sheer number of tools, frameworks, programming languages and hardware platforms can feel overwhelming. One job advert mentions Qiskit, another talks about Cirq or Pennylane. You see references to quantum annealers and superconducting qubits, to measurement hardware and simulators, to noise mitigation libraries and cloud platforms. It’s easy to conclude that unless you master every quantum tool, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most quantum computing hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real problems and explain why your solutions work. Tools matter, but context, understanding, judgement and results matter more. So how many quantum computing tools do you actually need to know to succeed in a job search? The real answer is significantly fewer than most people assume — and far more focused by role. This article breaks down what tools really matter in quantum jobs, which ones are core, which are role-specific, and how you can build a coherent toolkit that employers actually value.

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

Quantum computing is one of the fastest-evolving fields in technology, blending physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. Roles in this space — from Quantum Algorithm Developer and Quantum Software Engineer to Quantum Research Scientist and Quantum Hardware Specialist — are highly sought after, and hiring managers are exceptionally selective. Because quantum computing is complex and multidisciplinary, recruiters and hiring managers look for clear, concrete evidence of relevant expertise and impact right at the start of your application. They often decide whether to read your CV in detail within the first 10–20 seconds, based on a handful of high-value signals. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in quantum computing applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to optimise your application to get noticed in the UK quantum job market.

Riverlane Jobs in Quantum Computing

If you’re looking for Riverlane jobs in quantum computing, you’re aiming at one of the most important layers in the quantum stack: quantum error correction (QEC). In simple terms, Riverlane focuses on the software, methods & tooling that help quantum computers produce reliable results despite noise. That matters because as quantum hardware scales, the ability to correct errors becomes the difference between “interesting experiments” and “useful quantum computing”. This guide is written for UK job seekers who want to understand: what Riverlane does (in job-seeker language) the roles they hire for the skills that map best to their work how to tailor your CV & LinkedIn how to prepare for interviews how to find & land Riverlane vacancies in the UK You do not need to be a quantum PhD to have a realistic pathway in. But you do need to understand the problem they’re solving & position your experience around it.
