ConcR’s mission is to predict if a cancer therapy will work, and how. We are developing custom modelling frameworks in collaboration with astrophysicists from Durham, to enable us to model a broader range of the tumour biology than is currently possible, and through that enable accurate predictions of therapy efficacy to be made with less data. Our first product is focussed on helping accelerate the development of cancer drugs before they are used in clinical trials. Our later ambition is to develop a tool which greatly enhances a doctor's ability to choose treatment for their cancer patient.

We are looking for a software engineer to join the core team as lead developer. The role will involve taking the models developed by our bioinformaticians, and turning them into a product. The work will initially involve developing a research platform which runs intensive bioinformatic computations, whilst protecting confidential patient data. Later you and your team will go on to develop a system which receives clinical data from hospitals, runs our models on them, and sends the results back to the doctor. You will ensure the software is highly robust, and is built to medical standards, ensuring patient safety (with help from a regulatory advisor). We intend to hire further software developers, and you will be in charge of building the software team, and providing direction for it.

If hired we would be able to offer a competitive salary and stock options. We are flexible on working remotely or on-site.

I'm one of the three people running the firm, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

We are three years into a period of transformation from initially a fairly standard enterprise finance approach to technology to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager.

It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming but are oriented towards solving their business problems with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

The language is written in D, we hosted dconf last year and will do so again this year. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with our stack.

Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure.
