[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @KoBold Metals
Mar 15, 2025 - KoBold Metals is hiring a remote Senior Software Engineer. đź’¸ Salary: unspecified. đź“ŤLocation: UK.
Role Description
At KoBold, software engineers have the unique opportunity to embed directly with their users and learn the ins and outs of mineral exploration and geology while developing state of the art technology solutions. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, we don’t simply ship code and passively wait for feedback about its utility: our userbase includes our colleagues… and ourselves! While there are real technical challenges in making mineral exploration data broadly searchable and accessible to both humans and machines, we believe that solving these technical challenges cannot be done without “getting our hands dirty” – sometimes literally! – by embedding directly with the exploration teams and even occasionally (~once a year) joining our colleagues in the field, be it in Zambia, Canada, or Arizona, to experience the impact of our software in real time.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Data Systems Engineering team at KoBold, your main role will be to enable systematic exploration and materially improve exploration success rates by making mineral exploration data broadly accessible to humans and machines.
- Deep engagement with exploration geologists and data scientists, continual learning about mineral exploration, and tailoring technology development to the needs of exploration project scientists
- Building data pipelines and tooling for deriving advanced human and machine insights from exploration data, often leading a small group of software engineers to successful delivery
- Developing expertise in KoBold’s Data Systems and deeply understanding how they impact exploration
- End-to-end ownership of projects from design to implementation and testing to continued engagement with colleagues on exploration teams using your solutions
- Responding well to design and code feedback, also providing feedback to teammates
- Operationally managing the team’s services and assisting scientific colleagues with our tooling
Qualifications
- 4+ years of software engineering experience, ideally building production cloud data systems
- Proficiency with Python
- Ability to write production-quality code that is correct, readable, well-tested, scalable and extensible
- Skilled in large-scale system design
- A track record of taking ownership from definition of the problem and delivering projects with demonstrated impact in an iterative manner
- Intellectual curiosity and eagerness to learn about all aspects of mineral exploration, particularly in the geology domain
- Ability to explain technical problems to and collaborate on solutions with domain experts who are not software developers
- Excitement about joining a fast-growing early-stage company, comfort with a dynamic work environment, and eagerness to take on an evolving range of responsibilities
- Keen not just to build cool technology, but to figure out what technical product to build to best achieve the business objectives of the company
Requirements
- Experience with modern frontend frameworks such as React
- Experience with geospatial data and building map-based experiences
- Familiarity with containerization and container orchestration platforms, such as Docker, AWS ECS, Kubernetes, etc.
- Formal education or job exposure to natural sciences
Location
Remote, Candidates can be located anywhere in the United Kingdom.
