  • Get hands-on with OpenAPI documentation, Docker, and microservices-based architecture.

  • Collaborate with product and UX teams to create meaningful features that enhance the student and employer journey.

  • Build on your experience with testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and agile methodologies.

    What’s on the Wishlist?

    We're looking for skills and experience like the following – but don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. If you bring transferable skills and a passion for full stack development, we’d love to hear from you.

    Tech Skills & Tools:

  • Strong JavaScript and TypeScript fundamentals

  • Node.js for back-end services

  • React, Angular or Vue for front-end development

  • REST APIs and API documentation (OpenAPI)

  • SQL & NoSQL databases

  • Git, GitLab, CI/CD pipelines

  • Docker & microservices

    Bonus Points for Experience With:

  • Testing with Jest

  • NestJS framework

  • Jamstack – Gatsby or Next.js

  • RabbitMQ, SOLR, or AWS

  • Java or Vert.X (for those with polyglot experience!)

    Ways of Working:

  • Agile and squad-based development

  • Comfortable working with complex codebases

  • Focused on outcomes, quality, and clean code

  • Collaborative, proactive, and open to continuous learning

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Engineering: Reshaping the Big Data Pipeline

Data engineering has become an indispensable pillar of the modern technology ecosystem. As companies gather massive troves of data—often measured in petabytes—the importance of robust, scalable data pipelines cannot be overstated. From ingestion and storage to transformation and analysis, data engineers stand at the forefront of delivering reliable data for analytics, machine learning, and critical business decisions. Simultaneously, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone a revolution, transitioning from niche research projects to a foundational tool for everything from predictive maintenance and fraud detection to customer experience personalisation. Yet as AI models grow in complexity—think large language models with hundreds of billions of parameters—the data volumes and computational needs escalate dramatically. The industry finds itself at an inflection point: traditional computing systems may eventually hit performance ceilings, even when scaled horizontally with thousands of nodes. Enter quantum computing, a nascent yet rapidly progressing technology that leverages quantum mechanics to tackle certain computational tasks exponentially faster than classical machines. While quantum computing is still maturing, its potential to supercharge AI workflows—often referred to as quantum-enhanced AI—has piqued the curiosity of data engineers and enterprises alike. This synergy could solve some of the biggest headaches in data engineering: accelerating data transformations, enabling more efficient analytics, and even facilitating entirely new kinds of modelling once believed to be intractable. In this article, we explore: How data engineering has evolved to support AI’s insatiable appetite for high-quality, well-structured data. The fundamentals of quantum computing and why it may transform the data engineering landscape. Potential real-world applications for quantum-enhanced AI in data engineering—from data ingestion to machine learning pipeline optimisation. Emerging career paths and skill sets needed to thrive in a future where data, AI, and quantum computing intersect. Challenges, ethical considerations, and forward-looking perspectives on how this convergence might shape the data engineering domain. If you work in data engineering, are curious about quantum computing, or simply want to stay on the cutting edge of technology, read on. The next frontier of data-driven innovation may well be quantum-powered.
