Volcore | Manchester, UK | On-site | Full-Time | Software Engineer, Forecaster, Mathematical Modelling Developer

At Volcore, we model the electricity system to do proprietary trading that helps balance the grid and facilitate renewables integration. Our technical roles are a blend of Software Engineering and Data Science, wherein we solve problems end-to-end, from data ingestion and analysis to optimisation and deployment. Often these require novel solutions, drawing on original research and experimentation. We are a profitable and ambitious scale-up looking for people who can both crack these kinds of problems and continually improve our shared libraries, tooling and workflows to ensure they are fast, accurate and a delight to work with.

Our team are close-knit, with minimal hierarchy and almost zero meetings. We work together in-office to whiteboard solutions together and everything we build is used by people sitting next to us.

Typically these positions attract talented people looking to build a career out of solving challenging computational problems; and/or people who have outgrown their previous role and are seeking more responsibility or more challenging subject matter. Every team member owns important projects very early on, and if you can deliver value in a particular area, you’ll be recognised and rewarded for it, regardless of job title.

Our tech stack includes Python, backend Typescript, Postgres and Rust.

We review all applications personally. For more info, including our requirements and salaries:

Common Prefix | Software Engineers - Auditors - Support Engineers - Formal Verification Engineer | Greece - Remote – Full-Time

Common Prefix is a science-first blockchain consulting company. Our vision is to make blockchains usable for mainstream users and everyday people – paying at the supermarket, remittances, moving money across borders, saving, investing – and solving the real problems of usability, scalability, and interoperability that come with it.

We're a 30-person team, half scientists (cryptographer PhDs, post-docs, and professors) from renowned universities, half engineers with long web2 experience. A lot of our field is broken and we're trying to make a small contribution in fixing it, by introducing provable security and proper engineering practices across the board.

What we're looking for: Software engineers who can solve problems, are smart, get things done, and enjoy working on the bleeding edge, learning about cryptography, and working from first-principles. Auditors who can write and read code, especially low-level cryptographic implementation code (zero knowledge verifiers, signature schemes, etc), consensus (PoW, PoS), or smart contracts (everything DeFi). Support engineers (junior to early-mid) who enjoy being on the front line of production support (monitor live systems, respond to partner/user issues, triage/debug, and escalate). Formal Verification Engineers with hands-on experience in formal methods to work on machine-checked proofs of blockchain protocols and smart contracts.

Tech stack: Doesn't matter, we'll teach you. But we work mostly with Rust.

Open roles:

* Software Engineer, https://commonprefix.notion.site/sw-folk

* Auditor, https://commonprefix.notion.site/auditing-folk

* Support Engineer, https://commonprefix.notion.site/support-folk

* Formal Verification Engineer, https://commonprefix.notion.site/fve-folk

We offer:

* $80,000–$171,000 / year cash

* Local from Athens, Greece, or remote

* Conference participation in exciting scientific and engineering venues, 2-3 times per year

* The opportunity to work and learn from world-class scientists from major universities in the field of blockchains, cryptography, and consensus

PlantingSpace | Full-time | Remote (EU time zone) + Quarterly Meet-ups | https://planting.space

We're building a system that represents domain knowledge as modular probabilistic models — making analysis rigorous and transparent. Users can connect these models flexibly into larger structures. The system enforces consistency across them, and propagates uncertainty through each step. Our first applications are in finance and scientific research, with use cases ranging from equity valuation and distress monitoring, to particle physics.

This is an opportunity for builders and practitioners to help shape a deep-tech product from its earliest stage.

Current openings:

* Product Software Engineering (Quantitative Modeling)

* Program Synthesis Engineering

* Applied Category Theory Research

* Bayesian Software Engineering

We're also looking for Domain Experts to collaborate on high-value use cases -- identifying and validating opportunities, shaping them into working solutions with our engineers, and taking them from pilot to production with real users. Practitioners with expertise in Valuation Models, Quantitative Default-Probability Models, or Interest Rate Prediction Models are particularly relevant right now.
