Senior Software Engineer
Senior Software Engineer (ML Systems)
Title: Senior Software Engineer (ML Systems) Company: Deep Technology Organisation Location: London Pay: Up to £120,000
A deeply technical organisation is investing heavily in the future of large-scale intelligent systems. They are assembling a small group of exceptional engineers and researchers to tackle some of the most challenging problems at the intersection of software, hardware, and performance engineering.
The team focuses on understanding how complex distributed systems behave at scale, using measurement, modelling, and simulation to guide design decisions long before systems are deployed.
In you, they hope to find a strong systems engineer with experience building or analysing high-performance computing platforms, distributed infrastructure, or machine learning systems. You will work alongside experts across software, infrastructure, and research to shape the next generation of large-scale compute systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There is significant scope to influence both the technical direction and the growth of the team.
Role
You will:
- Build models that simulate the behaviour of large-scale compute systems, helping teams understand performance, scalability, and efficiency before making architectural decisions.
This is a deeply technical role where you will:
- Design and build simulation frameworks for complex distributed systems
- Model compute, memory, and communication behaviour across large-scale workloads
- Analyse bottlenecks and evaluate architectural trade-offs
- Run benchmarks and performance experiments on production-grade systems
- Validate simulation results against real-world measurements
- Partner with software, infrastructure, and research teams to ensure models reflect practical constraints
- Produce clear technical recommendations backed by data and analysis
