Operating in the area of enterprise retraining and reskilling, we are approaching one of the key problems posed by technological change: workforces’ and individuals’ need to retrain and learn new skills for new roles. We have just received substantial funding from Innovate UK, the UK’s government innovation agency, and are looking for a Python engineer to form a key part of our small team. Our service is a Web-based platform which uses a graph engine to model individuals’ competences and target skills, and make job and learning recommendations. We are looking for a generalist Python engineer. The right person will be familiar with, or show the ability to learn, two key techniques: working with graph data structures in Python, and pulling data from Postgres using the SQLAlchemy object relational manager.
