About Malted
Malted builds specialised customer interaction intelligence for financial institutions. Our platform combines advanced language technology with deep domain understanding to help firms make faster, more accurate decisions.
Our proprietary technology, purpose-built for financial services, uncovers signals that generic AI misses, distilling intelligence into insights faster, more efficiently and more securely than anyone else.
We’re a small, passionate, and highly technical team based in Edinburgh, combining deep machine learning experience with a rigorous approach to product design and engineering.
What you’ll do
As a Senior Software Engineer, you take on larger technical problems related to your team and lead the technical design and implementation of complex features. You take ownership of complex systems from design through to delivery, ensuring our systems remain robust as we scale. You operate fully autonomously to own the delivery of big projects, or big changes to existing systems.
- Lead the design and implementation of scalable, secure backend systems for the Malted Platform.
- Drive technical discussions and architecture decisions that shape the platform’s evolution.
- Build high-quality, maintainable code and ensure engineering best practices across the team.
- Develop and optimise cloud infrastructure for deploying machine learning models at scale.
- Translate experimental prototypes into production-grade systems.
- Debug, test and optimise performance across distributed services.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end product features.
