Systems Engineer, Scientific Programmer

Some people are fascinated by the idea of creating useful systems that act intelligently. And it does not matter if the intelligence is "merely" a simulation. You are one of those people.

If you like building software to solve meaningful problems, then we are really interested in meeting you.

• Are you capable of coming up with algorithms to solve a problem?
• Have you been working with Python in the last year or two? (or have you worked with it for a while before?)
• Do you have a reliable mathematics foundation?
• Are you proficient at implementing algorithms in Java/C?
• Have you built whole systems (or major parts of them) yourself?
• Graph theory does not scare you (and in fact, you think is pretty cool)?
• Can you prioritize your time and energy?
• Do you care for your career and see yourself as a person that will evolve as technology advances?
• Do you have a sense of humor?

If you answered "yes" to most of these questions, feel free to apply!

Areas of Interest

Algorithms. Computer Systems. Computer Science. Building, testing & deploying software.

You are either a Computer Scientist who found an itch for applying your reasoning and logic to solve real problems, or a Computer Engineer who went deeper into math. In either case, you love math and technology in general.

You will be expected to handle graphs and search algorithms like bread and butter. In addition to that, you are expected to at least navigate yourself around constraint satisfaction problems, planning algorithms, randomized algorithms and formalisms for temporal reasoning.

Must-have qualifications

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in engineering with a focus on one or more of the following disciplines: Computer Engineering, Computer Science.
• Fluent in English and Python.
• You can write tidy and maintainable code (with just the right amount of comments, proper function names, usable APIs).
• You can show a wide range of technological interests due to projects in which you have participated. Informal projects are of interest as well.
• >=2 years of industrial or postdoc experience in relevant technological fields.

Nice-to-have qualifications

• Hobby projects!
• Experience in consultancy or customer facing roles.

Innovation is tough. Engineering challenges never discriminate between skills. What we offer our customers is that instead of one pair of eyes, they can have a whole team of people with different engineering and scientific backgrounds finding solutions for them. At Combine we strive to leverage the range and depth of our teams when offering solutions to our customers.

As a member of our team you will contribute with your skills, personality and experiences and further enrich our capacity for offering solutions.

Will I always have the same role in the team?

In Combine we do not believe in sticking people in boxes and leaving them there forever. We also don't believe in silos. We believe that you are a person with dreams, hopes and career ambitions. Cross collaboration is always encouraged. Exposure to new experiences brings change and growth to your profile. As you grow more, you are encouraged to take new roles or dip your toes into new techniques and step further away from your comfort zone.

Do you work on projects, or is it consultancy only?

Sometimes you will work with customers at their premises, sometimes in-house, sometimes a mix.

How specialized is the work at your company?

For some projects you will need to have a laser-focus on hitting a target, while on other projects and especially when doing on-site work you will need to use the full range of your peripherals in order to find what is holding a customer back.

How does a typical work week progress for your Team?

No two weeks are the same for our engineering Team! The common denominator is that there will always be a purpose and a real need behind the tasks you have been given, as well as a focus on providing meaningful and reasonable proposals back to the customers.

I like science fiction / volunteering / beer brewing / computer games / climbing / board games / 3d printing / hobby electronics / running triathlons / MMA / knitting / mountain biking / e-sports 

Cool! So do we. These are some of the hobbies our engineers have.

Feel free to contact us if you have any more specific questions!
