Role Description

We are looking for self-motivated and open-minded individuals who enjoy solving problems, are not afraid to leave the beaten track, and who are able to combine scientific thinking with software engineering skills. We expect to teach you APL, but it is a bonus if you already know something about APL or other array programming languages.

You will become a member of a team the develops tools and libraries for expert users who use APL to solve problems using computers. Once you have acquired the necessary skills, you will also be able to help users get started with using the technology and do some consulting/development projects for our clients. Ideally, you will use the experience of tool building and working with users to feed requests for core language features back to the team developing the APL language system.

This is a full-time hybrid role for an APL Developer/Consultant located in Copenhagen or the Malmø Metropolitan Area, with flexibility for remote work once training is complete. You will require a combination of technical and customer-facing skills.

Application Developer and Toolsmith

position recently filled

Are you a fast learner with a passion for programming who likes to solve real problems? Are you more interested in working with a team of experts to solve new and challenging problems than you are with climbing the corporate ladder? Are you looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind opportunity to work in diverse fields in cutting edge research and development? Do you want to be consistently challenged, to learn new, lasting skills, and to be an integral member of a team delivering real value, rather than hopping from one superficial tech fashion to another?

At Dyalog, we're an international company that's more like a "council of wizards" than your average bureaucratic enterprise, and we're looking for the next set of up-and-coming would-be wizards who love a challenge and are excited about tearing down the boundaries between user and developer, solution and code.

You'll be working as a consultant in the U.S. for a major energy corporation, helping to solve some of the toughest challenges in the business with a team of highly skilled, exceptional individuals. You'll also spend time working inside Dyalog to dream, research, and develop the next generation of solution-focused tools of thought that enable our clients to program and solve problems at the speed of thought.

This is a chance to be exposed to extremes. You'll be able to work with mission-critical legacy applications as well as totally new and cutting edge research designs. You'll have a chance to work within a division of a large enterprise corporation as well as with a super-flat and lean, user-focused company.

This is an opportunity to be trained and gain new skills and experience under experts who are among the best at what they do. We're interested in people who don't just want to code to a specification but who really love the idea of working together with the users of their designs and code to implement real solutions. If you want to learn how to punch way above your weight and you're excited about the idea of entering into a unique world where code meets art meets solution, then we might just be the place for you and we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

Supporting and improving critical systems for a major U.S. energy company
Technical and infrastructure development for domain experts, including tooling and application design
Development of new and existing products internal to Dyalog, particularly in support of the core developer teams in Dyalog and Dyalog-funded research projects

Key Qualifications

Mathematics, computing, scientific or engineering competence
Ability to work with users and experts from varied backgrounds in both team and support roles
Aptitude for programming, logic, and learning new things
Willingness to engage with and improve legacy software

Bonus Points

A background in any of the following:
- applied mathematics
- statistics and application of statistics
- chemistry, physics, computer science or engineering
Any experience with:
- modern APL
- VBA/Excel
- MATLAB
- custom software stacks
- databases and SQL
- GUI design and programming

JavaScript ToolSmith

position recently filled

Are you a skilled JavaScript developer who wants to do more than develop the next web app or refactor it to use the latest widget library? Would you enjoy supporting developers who use a variety of technologies including multiple programming languages, using your JS skills to provide them with tools that they can use to develop cross-platform applications? Are you located in the South West of England, within (hybrid) commuting distance of Bramley (Hampshire)?

Who are we?

Dyalog Ltd is the world’s leading provider of APL language systems and tools. APL is an array-oriented and pragmatically functional programming language which, despite having almost 60 years of history, continues to evolve rapidly. The technology allows subject matter experts to be key contributors to a software development process, translating industry or scientific knowledge into executable code without the need for professional developers during the prototyping phase of a project. Dyalog is used in many major corporations throughout the world.

Role Description

We have a growing collection of JavaScript-based tools that support the development of APL applications, including an integrated development environment and a prototype of a tool developed in React which allows APL developers to create web front ends. These projects have been started using external contractors, but we would like to bring development in house and increase our investment in JS-based tools. Your task will be to take responsibility for the future development of these projects, which are still in their infancy – and help us think of new tools where JS might be a good implementation platform. From time to time there may also be small web development projects to support our own web site, but the focus will be on developing tools for other developers to use.

Qualifications

Experience with JavaScript
A keen interest in learning about new technologies – and wielding them to get the most out of existing applications
Ability to discuss ideas with developers who use a variety of technologies
Experience with React – or ability to convince us that you will quickly master it
Bonus points if you know what the Debug Adapter Protocol is and think it might be fun to use

Data Scientist/Programmer

position recently filled

Dyalog Ltd is looking for someone interested in the opportunity to use computers to analyse data and solve problems, to become part of our team of APL developers in Bramley, Hampshire, UK. Our job is to help Subject Matter Experts from a variety of fields crunch numbers, distil information from data, and utilise Dyalog APL in intuitive ways to discover useful new algorithms and recreate old ones.

We do not expect you to know APL, but you need to be interested in learning the language. An interest in – or at least a lack of fear of – applied mathematics will be very useful. We imagine that you have recently completed, are about to complete (or have failed to complete) a higher scientific/engineering or mathematical education.

If so, please get in touch! Dyalog is looking for a new developer to join our core development team, a role that is located in Bramley, Hampshire, UK.

Although the original developers of Dyalog APL version 1.0 (released in 1983) are still around, more than half of us joined the team during the last decade, and we are now poised to take APL to new platforms and markets. An important part of this will be to provide a modern IDE for the language engine and create tools and interfaces that allow our users to build cross-platform applications.

We expect you to:

enjoy learning new things and having your mind bent regularly.
be well versed in the latest UI and Web technologies.
have strong opinions and feel comfortable defending them to colleagues with diverse backgrounds.
have an open mind with respect to platforms and tools required to get the job done. Right now, our production platforms are C (Windows, Linux, AIX), Win32, C#/.NET/WPF, with some new work being done in HTML5/JavaScript and CoffeeScript.
be able to manage and be responsible for your own workload.

In return we can offer you:

Salary dependent on seniority/experience.
Generous benefits package including private healthcare.
Relaxed and friendly working environment.
