About Us 

We are a rapidly-progressing legaltech start-up looking to transform the legal sector by using machine learning to improve the efficiencies of large international law firms in a market of over £30bn. 

We are seeking a self-starter to help us on that journey.   

The platform reads tens of millions of data points linked to professional services data and transforms this unstructured data into powerful visualisations and insights that dramatically increase the new business generation potential of its customer law firms. 

The company has significant traction from a number of target customers. 

The company has committed and unconditional funding with at least 18 months of runway. 

The CEO is a three-times serial entrepreneur who has successfully exited one business and still operates the remaining two profitably.  He has extensive industry contacts and vast experience in the target vertical having “been” the target market and then been its customer before going on to successfully sell to it, thereby boosting the future trajectory of the firm. 

About you/the role 

The successful candidate will work in a friendly and international environment based in one of London's top tech hubs close to Silicon Roundabout. 

This is an entry-level position ideally suiting a candidate with outstanding academics, studying towards Masters, PhD level or above in a data science or closely-related discipline.  He/she will be looking for an opportunity to develop experience in machine learning in a highly-commercial environment using the latest tools. 

He/she will be a self-starter willing to “roll their sleeves up” and who wants to help pioneer new technology in a “hot” vertical where the UK target market alone is over £30 billion. 

Accordingly, the candidate will need to:  

• Be highly numerate with the ability to derive insights and visualisations from data 
• Work with large volumes of text data, and be able to apply standard techniques for preprocessing, wrangling, storage. 
• Be able to apply standard NLP techniques for Information Extraction 
• Have good communication skills in English 
• Have the ability to work independently to design and implement robust solutions 

We are looking for the following core technical skills: 

• Python 3 
• Jupyter notebook experience 
• Experience of using data libraries including numpy, pandas, nltk 
• MongoDB or experience of NoSQL databases 
• Experience of data visualisation using tools such as matplotlib, seaborn or similar. 

The following are desirable but not essential: 

• Scikit-learn  
• Experience of knowledge graphs and ontologies 
• Experience of NLP, in particular named entity recognition  

We are a very early stage start up and the candidate will report directly to the CEO with the opportunity to grow into a more senior role with the attendant opportunities and economics.   

You will need the right to work in the UK currently, but after an initial period visa sponsorship is available to the right candidate. 

Compensation 

Initially on a contract basis with a competitive day rate, this role will grow into a full time position with the attendant cash and equity compensation. 

Application

As well as your CV, please provide a covering email explaining how your skills and experience match those specified. Please also explain why you would like to work for an early stage start-up in London.

The Company

Our mission at CyberOwl is to shift organisations towards an active security posture. Our first
product, Medulla, is a passive, protective monitoring system for detecting the early signs of cyberphysical attacks on ships.

Medulla uses a sophisticated algorithm based on Bayesian inference to systematically analyse
indicators typically associated with the early stages of malicious intrusion. It is a product of 10+ years
research, started in the MoD Defence Academy and completed at Coventry University.

CyberOwl has won several accolades, was shortlisted for the Lloyds Science of Risk Prize, selected
into the first GCHQ Cyber Accelerator Programme and is a founding member of the UK
Government’s centre of excellence for cybersecurity innovation – the London Office for Rapid
Cybersecurity Advancement (LORCA).

The Opportunity

You will join and help drive an agile development process so will need to be comfortable working in
such an environment. You will need to maintain a close working relationship with key individuals
such as the Scrum Master, Product Owner, UI Designer and other members of the development
team.

CyberOwl has an awful lot on our roadmap, so you must be comfortable in working in a fast moving
and reactive product development environment.

Job Requirements

Start Date: Immediately / March 2020

Key Accountabilities 

• Ensuring that high quality components are produced in a timely manner. 
• Mentoring and supporting the other members of the front-end team.
• Working with the UX/UI Designed to implement their creative design
• Working with the Backend developers and the REST API’s they provide
• Working with the Product Owner and Scrum Master to plan development sprints

Required Key Skills 

• React-JS/Redux
• HTML5
• CSS3, Less (or Sass)
• JavaScript/Typescript
• Web Sockets

Working Knowledge of Python and/or Java would be helpful 

Professional Level 

• Minimum of 2 years’ experience as a Front-End Developer
• Minimum of 1 year React-JS experience
• Experience of working with/developing IT security products is desirable but not essential

Key Behaviours  

• We are looking for a completer finisher with an eye for detail b. 
• You will need to demonstrate that you are both innovative and resourceful c.
• This role will suit an inquisitive self-starter who is able to work independently but also as part of a team d.
• You will be comfortable working in a start-up environment and show a requisite degree of flexibility e.
• You must be methodical with an aptitude for analytical thinking

Personal Skills 

The development team at CyberOwl is geographically dispersed so you must be comfortable working in such an environment. For someone who is extremely selfdisciplined and has strong organisational skills it would be possible to work from home a up to four days a week. As a start-up, CyberOwl is often in “all hands to the pumps” mode, so this role would be ideal for someone who is inquisitive and looking to expand their horizons/knowledge and would like to eventually transition to become a full-stack developer. 

How to Apply

Please read the attached job description and person specification and ensure you have the specific
skillsets we are looking for. Should this be the case, please send a covering letter and CV to our
Operations Manager, Dan Eccles, at info@cyberowl.io.
