We deliver high-profile and cutting-edge digital projects for household names across the public and private sectors. Softwire was founded on one simple idea: if we can create the best possible culture and working environment then everything else will fall into place. And it seems to be working - We were recently voted number 1 company to work for in the UK at the Best Company awards, and we have a loyal and growing client base who trust us with their hardest problems and their mission critical projects. We focus on creating a great culture and working environment and we are looking for people who share our core beliefs about what makes a great place to work: That if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing properly. That work should be fulfilling but can also be fun. That kindness matters and should be extended to employees and clients alike. That by being trusting and trustworthy as an organisation and as individuals we can dispense with tedious bureaucracy and rules. When you work with Softwire, you're not only becoming part of a team with in-depth technical skills and delivery expertise - you'll be working in a high-trust environment alongside skilled, kind, fun people who are passionate about creating amazing services and experiences that solve real problems. In brief We're looking for people who have a track record of successfully delivering bespoke software development projects in an agency setting; people who can own all aspects of that delivery: commercial,team, project vision, project delivery, and client management. We are looking for team-players who are experienced people managers, and whohave strong clientempathy and client management skills. We also valueexposure to pre-sales, and provide opportunities to make use of, or grow, pre-sales and account experience. In return, we can offer interesting projects with brilliant clients, high levels of autonomy and ownership, and strong - and stretching - management support. You'll have the opportunity to try new things - whether they be skills you're developing, or new initiatives that improve our processes or company culture. And you'll receive a competitive package and profit share whilst you do so. The role We arelooking for experienced Delivery Principals to lead a portfolio of projects and engagements for our Public Sector clients.Delivery Principals are accountable for the commercial, delivery and team performance of our projects and programmes of work.

You may do this on a programme of work spanning thousands of days of effort, or on a portfolio of smaller projects with independent delivery leads. In each case, the majority of your time will be value-adding, and chargeable to the projects. Accelerating the careers of others Delivery Principals are highly experienced people managers. They bring experience in forming and leading multi-disciplinary teams. They bring out the best in the people they're responsible for, both through strong line management of Delivery Leads, and by supporting the resourcing and progression of others on their projects.

You will also help your Delivery Leads mentor and manage more junior colleagues of their own.

Meeting prospective clients, devising project plans and technical approaches, preparing written proposals and in-person pitches. Thinking beyond your immediate remit on a project to understand how Softwire can make it a success and where else we might be able to provide value to a client.

Youbring extensive experience of successfully delivering large software development projects within the public sector directly or via agency experience and a broad skillset that lets you understand and spot risks, and address issues in whatever areas a projectdemands. You have prior agency experience and are familiar with reconciling commercial and quality drivers in a client-focused environment. You have excellent client management and relationship building skills. You are used to getting things done to external timetables and can balance competing demands to progress both the strategic and the tactical. You possess strong expertise in the public sector, particularly in the discovery, alpha and beta phases. You have comprehensive knowledge of government standards and the user-centered design (UCD) approach and have participated in assessments by Government Digital Service (GDS) and/or the central digital and data office (CDDO). You also have experience in supporting others through these processes. You appreciate working autonomously within a supportive environment. We value the balance between life and work and want to provide the right conditions to enable you to be the best you can be. You are collaborative and want to create something enduring while having fun doing so. You are familiar with how software is created. You don't need to be able to write it yourself, but you can have informed conversations with technical team members, and understand the technical context and repercussions of project or scope decisions. Ideally, you can also help explain these concepts to less-technical clients in a way that keeps them empowered.

Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world's leading companies. Created by IPO-exited founders, we offer founders capital, operational support from a team of hands-on experts, and unrivalled access to a coalition of industry-leading corporate partners. Since 2015, our 300+ portfolio companies have raised $800mm follow-on funding from a roster of notable investors. Our Studio partners with entrepreneurs on day one, developing new ideas, technologies and business models into high growth companies. Together with Nesta, the UK's innovation agency for social good, we're now creating ventures that deliver social impact by means of venture-backable scale. We're looking for an experienced technical operator with entrepreneurial ambitions to take a new concept created and validated by our Venture Design team into the Build Phase. The Problem: What we eat - its price, availability and nutritional value - is a product of the farming system that creates it. Our farming system is broken. 'Conventional' farming practices, such as the intensive use of agrochemicals, are driving negative outcomes for both our health and the environment. There is a growing movement to transition towards regenerative farming practices that protects nature, improves health, fights climate change and builds national food security. 72% of UK farmers are looking to use, or being pushed by retailers, regulation and rising costs, to use some regenerative techniques. But there are major barriers to transition to regen ag: 1. Capital: Requires upfront capital (working and infrastructure) to manage the 3-5 yrs transition but traditional loans not appropriate. 2. Knowledge: Farmers need support in knowing how to transition from conventional farming to regenerative practices. Data sits at the core of regen farming, but currently exists in a siloed and analogue format. Farmers monitor soil health to understand fertility, crop rotations and to maximise yields. These data sets correlate with the data sets used for credits, financing and evidencing provenance. By digitising the data we can reduce the admin burden for farmers and unlock new revenue streams by selling nature credits to organisations looking to offset their environmental impact. Ultimately making farming more profitable in the long run whilst having a positive impact on health and the environment. The Solution: RE:GENO - the data management tool that finances the transition to regen Re:geno is an app that organises your farming data and financially rewards you for regenerative farming practices.

Our work demonstrates cutting edge ML performance on the largest scale and latest accelerators at MLPerf competition. We push state-of-the-art efficiency on multipod ML models. Google Cloud accelerates every organization's ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google's cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems. Responsibilities Focus on large language models (Google Deepmind Gemini, Bard, Search Magi, Cloud LLM APIs, etc.), performance analysis, and optimizations. Identify and maintain LLM training and serving benchmarks that are representative to Google production, industry and ML community, use them to identify performance opportunities and drive TensorFlow/JAX TPU out-of-the-box performance toward state-of-the-art, and to gate TF/JAX releases. Engage with Google product teams to solve their LLM performance problems for example, onboarding new LLM models and products on Google new TPU hardware, enabling LLMs to train efficiently on very large-scale (i.e. thousands of TPUs), etc. Explore model/data efficiency techniques for example, new ML model arch/optimizer/training technique to solve a ML task more efficiently, new techniques to reduce the label/unlabeled ML data needed to train a model to target accuracy.
