Who are we?

IOG, is a technology company focused on Blockchain research and development. We are renowned for our scientific approach to blockchain development, emphasizing peer-reviewed research and formal methods to ensure security, scalability, and sustainability. Our projects include decentralized finance (DeFi), governance, and identity management, aiming to advance the capabilities and adoption of blockchain technology globally.

We invest in the unknown, applying our curiosity and desire for positive change to everything we do. By fueling creativity, innovation, and progress within our teams, our products and services are designed for people to be fearless, to be changemakers.

What the role involves:

As a Data Engineer, you are part of the Technical Intelligence (TechInt) team. The team’s main function is to recon the blockchain industry and feed the company with new trends and projects. The TechInt team has automatized the recon process by utilizing a data lake and machine learning. The team currently harvests data from a variety of different sources. This data gets fed into different systems that then show this data as a report.

You are responsible for maintaining and setting up data solutions and services. A key part would be to aid in the maturation of the data ingestion pipeline and processes. Moreover, you would be expected to create a state-of-the-art data warehouse which would be cloud-native. In your daily job, you do a mix of data engineering, and cloud infrastructure management. 

  • Develop and maintain automated data ingestion (API or crawling) pipelines from source code repositories, social media, and on-chain analytics. 
  • Simplify existing data pipelines - re-architecting where necessary.
  • Research existing datasets to figure out their relevance - and remove irrelevant data pipelines and sources.
  • Design a data warehouse that can be queried by analysts and APIs, and that will serve as a data backend for a reporting web application.
  • Collaborate with data scientists to operationalize ML models and deploy them into production environments.
  • Work closely with leadership to understand and define requirements, ensuring alignment with the department’s strategy and roadmap.
  • Collaborate with a Data Scientist and an Intelligence Engineer to implement technical solutions that meet project goals.
  • Ensure systems are functional, available, and carefully monitored for continuous performance and reliability.

Requirements

Who you are:

  • Minimum 3–4 years of hands-on recent experience with AWS cloud services :
  • Knowledge of Infrastructure as code (such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Python AWS CDK).
  • Knowledge of cloud services management in AWS (such as S3, Redshift, Lambda, Batch, Glue, Athena etc.).
  • Hands-on experience with Docker for containerizing data applications.
  • Knowledge of relational databases and writing highly optimized SQL, including data transformations, complex joins, and performance tuning.
  • Strong proficiency in Python programming, including PySpark for data transformation.
  • Ability to communicate well both verbally and in writing, with both technical and non-technical partners. Professional English.

It would be beneficial if you have the following:

  • BSc/MSc in a Computer Science field, or equivalent practical experience. 
  • Knowledge of big data processing platforms (such Databricks) and data manipulation libraries in Python (such as Pandas, Polars).
  • Knowledge of docker container orchestration (such as Kubernetes, ECS).
  • Knowledge of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines (such as GitHub Actions, Travis, Jenkins).
  • Knowledge of blockchain on-chain data representation.

Are you an IOGer?

Do you find yourself questioning the status quo? Do you tinker with ideas and long to turn those ideas into solutions? Are you able to spark thoughtful debates, bringing out the inquisitiveness in others? Does the promise of continuously growing excite you? Then get ready to reimagine everything you thought wasn’t possible because that’s what it means to be an IOGer - we don’t set limits, we break them. 

Benefits

  • Remote work
  • Laptop reimbursement
  • New starter package to buy hardware essentials (headphones, monitor, etc)
  • Learning & Development opportunities
  • Competitive PTO 

At IOG, we value diversity and always treat all employees and job applicants based on merit, qualifications, competence, and talent. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
