The King’s Digital Lab (KDL) is seeking to appoint either a Research Software Engineer or Senior Research Software Engineer.

KDL is a Research Software Engineering (RSE) team embedded within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at King’s College London. We design and implement systems, infrastructure, tools, and processes needed to produce a heterogeneous range of high quality digital scholarly outputs.  As an RSE laboratory, KDL is deeply committed to co-research and is constantly evolving as new tools and methods appear. We have an open, collaborative culture, both within the Lab and with our research partners.

As a Research Software Engineer (RSE), your main responsibility is to develop high-quality code to support product specifications and requirements in collaboration with research leads and the RSE team. You will have expertise in at least one programming language and proficiency in others, along with a keen interest in software development. Your role involves producing research solutions, from algorithms to web applications, and you may have specialised skills in areas such as immersive/XR, machine learning, DevOps, or web development. Interest in and/or skills related to one or more of KDL’s priority research themes would be desirable.

If you are appointed as a Senior RSE, you will have advanced expertise and take a leading role in planning and decision-making related to the research solutions KDL produces.
