Continuum Industries is on a mission to help the world accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future using Artificial Intelligence. We have developed Optioneer, an AI-powered tool that helps plan new infrastructure projects much faster, more sustainably and with lower risk. Since launch, we have supported over 40,000 km of new linear infrastructure; underground and subsea power cables, overhead transmission lines, hydrogen, and water pipelines. Optioneer is already used by enterprise infrastructure organisations such as; National Grid, BP, RWE, SSEN Transmission, Iberdrola and National Gas Transmission in the US, UK and Europe.

We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Applications Team (currently ~10 people) comprised of a mix of front end, back end, full stack and DevOps expertise. Based in our Edinburgh office we all have a passion for both engineering (all kinds) and technology with a positive impact.

Optioneer is a data-rich application. We ingest geospatial data on a national scale which Optioneer uses to suggest viable routes for infrastructure based on hundreds (if not thousands) of constraints. It is used by people with highly specialised knowledge in the infrastructure industry such as Civil/Design/GIS Engineers, Environmental Consultants and Project Managers to significantly reduce the time in which linear infrastructure is planned and developed. 

As we expand we’re going to be adding more data sources, more layers and more customers and users. We want to make sure our front end is balanced; boosting usability and performance whilst adding functionality. We’re looking for a Senior Engineer who can help strike that balance as we bring Optioneer to more and more customers and scale our operation globally.
