We are building the Rolos Platform – an intelligent collaborative platform which aims to improve research team productivity. We believe that an era of data-driven research is coming, and the classical trial and error approach can no longer give satisfactory results without computational methods.

The Rolos Platform provides scientists with:
• Storage/compute infrastructure optimized for AI and later quantum computational workloads;
• A collaborative environment where researchers can share and monetize data, algorithms and interactive publications;
• Tools for building computational workflows, training AI models and visualizing results.

We are currently looking for a Senior Python Developer.
