 EuroPython as a conference would not exist if it wasn't for our gracious sponsors, right? And like EuroPython as a conference is built on the shoulders of the community, right? And one of the reasons why we have sessions like these is to, one, highlight our sponsors, and two, is to give opportunities to the community to effectively play a bigger role in these firms or just know a bit more about these sponsors and what kind of work they do, right? So what we're going to do now is for each and every sponsor, we're going to give them like five minutes each and they're going to effectively sort of present about what they are doing, what they do, and if they have any roles that they're actively hiring for, then they'll talk about that. We'll start off with Arm. So give it up for Leandro. Okay, well, thank you very much for showing up for the recruitment session. As I said, so my name is Leandro and I've been at Arm since 2016, so seven years and a half for us. We, well, we are the company behind Arm architecture, so it was in computer architecture and pretty much, well, all of us will have some device at home in our pockets that uses Arm technology. As a company, we are, well, about 6,300 people, more or less, so a lot of software development going on, a lot of Python going on, so we, well, we have an internal Python community, just, I mean, among employees and everything, we have about 900 people internally. So as a company, we are present in, well, many countries, so, I mean, we are here, you can visit us on the booth, on the Cambridge office or in the UK, but there are many offices in the EU, in the US, Asia, and lots of places. Again, well, as a company, I would say, so, I mean, from my own experience, so the company has a great culture, so it's a really kind of a nice collaborative atmosphere, a lot of, well, DEI conversations, so diversity, equity and inclusion is kind of a day-to-day on the company, on recruitment and all processes, so it's a very, I mean, again, from my own experience, it's a very welcoming environment and a great community to be part of. Well, there is a lot of content on that. I would, I mean, in practical terms, I would recommend you to, well, if you want to learn about day-to-day routines and everything, visit us at the booth. We are four people there, people that are stuffing the booth, are in the company for, well, more or less this time, so say, eight, ten years, more or less, so it's kind of a, we can give you an e-mail answer you might be looking for. So we, as a priority, the priority sort of the products for the company is IP development, so it means that we develop computer architecture specifications. But this is not successful if there is not a big kind of a software ecosystem running on top of it, so that's the key, it's key for the company, and that's, I mean, one of the reasons we are here sponsoring EuroPython. Just before coming here, we had a look on the careers website that I recommend you to visit. We looked and there are, well, 344 positions open in the company, and from those, 173, they mentioned Python in the job spec, so Python is a really big thing for us, and we contribute to it in, well, many levels from, you know, fostering the ecosystem and making it run better for the whole community, as well as internally, we use a lot of Python in our day-to-day routines. So yeah, so main message, if you are looking for a job, I would highly recommend you to go to our careers website. If you have any question, go and stop by, have a chat with us, grab some delicious jelly beans and stickers, and talk to us. We are very happy to talk to you there. Thank you very much. Okay, cool. Thank you. Thank you so much, Neandro, and I can indeed confirm that the jelly beans are quite nice. Had an entire box of it. All right, next up, we're going to have Alexis from Numbly to talk about Numbly, or not. So hello, everyone. Thanks for stopping by here. First of all, I want to thank all the other sponsors for being here. There are some faces that I recognize over the years, so thank you. Obviously, the organizers as well, because European needs sponsors, of course, but your time is what fuels this event and the community, so thank you for this. So I'm Alexis, the CTO of Numbly. That's a slide that represents what it is that we are supposed to use by our clients and useful to our clients. Basically, we are a data marketing company, so we help brands connect with their customers using data and all the digital channels available today. The reason for our presence and actually long-time presence, because this is the 10th year in a row that we sponsor and support EuroPyton. So I see, thank you. So yeah, we have a long-standing relationship with this event. That's a really special occasion for us that we are really happy to attend every year. For this 10th edition, we decided to come by and be the 10 of us, actually. So we have a pretty big number of people on our booth. So if you didn't, I encourage you to come by. We have stuff, anyway. So yeah, the idea is to have fun coming here and share our enthusiasm about the language and its community. If I go a bit technical, what defines us technically apart from our love for communities is that I like to say that tech is made by people. That's why I'm standing here right now. And we have a strong independent mindset and we are very proud of it. We value very much the skill set that people have in their minds and how they can apply it together. And yeah, we have special things related to independence and valuing European tech and the open internet that are things that are very dear to us as well. So we don't belong to only the Python community, we belong to many communities, I guess. So yeah, that's typical photos that we like to share internally. We have a strong commitment to open source, both as a company and also a lot of individuals that are working at Numberly have a strong relationship and strong involvement with various open source projects, they can be in Python or not, actually. So this is our webpage. We publish ourselves some open source projects. We sponsor open source communities and individuals for the projects that we use in production. So we try also to give back to individuals financially if they allow it. But what is mandatory when working at Numberly is to contribute back to what we use. So being an actor of the tech ecosystem is really, really important and is actually part of your job. So that's not something that we expect you to just do on your free time, right? Beyond this presentation, we have a tech blog that is there. Me being here is just words from someone you don't know. So everyone of us will try to put great lights on their company and bring out what they believe and they live through, hopefully. But I think what talks best is what other people say of you. And that's tangible evidence in my opinion. So that's why I allowed myself to copy past this from the Internet. And this involvement has also been rewarded multiple times for some tech achievements. So we are very proud of it and share also a lot internally about it. So yeah, we are obviously hiring a lot of different kind of positions because we apply Python and a lot of other technologies to a wide range of use cases. That's the luck that you have when you work with data and a lot of various data. So come by and at least say hello. Thank you. You want me? No. Super. Okay. Thank you so much, Alexi. All right. Next up, we're going to have JetBrains and we're going to have Jody and Helen do some cool stuff. Yeah. Getting everything set up. Thank you. So hi. I'm Jody. Hi. I'm Helen. And obviously we're from JetBrains. Got a nice double team today. So initially we were actually going to use this slot for recruitment. I'm very happy to say we actually had a candidate sign the offer for our open position yesterday. So we are very happy. We're very sad to not still be recruiting because many great candidates. So what we're actually going to do is use this slot to demo one of our features that's upcoming that we're most excited about. First thing I just want to say for JetBrains also the Python community is super, super important. PyCharm is one of our most important products. We're really proud to be here and be part of the Python community. And yeah, it's always sort of great to be here and we're really proud to be sponsoring this conference. So the feature I want to show you today, I'm going to be brave and do a live demo, is our new AI Assistant. So if you want to hear all the details and hear me go into tedious depth about large language models, please come for a demo at the booth. And I'm going to show you a few of my favorite features. So basically the AI Assistant is our attempt to integrate the, I want to say intelligent, sorry I'm a data scientist, the utility of large language models into our IDE in a useful way. So this is coming up in our next release in the next couple of weeks. You can access the beta now as part of our EAP. Again come and see me at the booth if you want to know how to do this. But I want to show you a couple of the cool things it can do. So here's some code and Helen wrote this code and what has she done? It's written a function without a doc string. I could write the doc string for her, but instead I could get AI Assistant to do it. Like magic. But it's not magic. It's a statistical machine. She's also, she's called it my funk. What is with you today? I don't know. What is with you and your code? Rename? Naming so hard, but with AI Assistant, it's easy. Let's do something even more fun. Let's say, I don't know, we want to ask the large language model to do something a little more complex. What do you want me to ask chat GPT to do with this function? Do you want tests? Do you want me to break it down into something else? Shout out. What was the suggestion? Okay. Please. Let's be nice. Optimize. This function. And it will go ahead and do that for us. Of course, we're using a large language model. Sometimes the code may not be optimal. This is an assistant. This is not to replace you as a programmer. This is also just the beginning for us. This is a priority for us going forward. Please come along, have a chat about how you can get access to this. This is a limited beta. Because we will be paying the bills to open AI. But if you want to get access to this, please come and see us at the booth. And you may have also noticed this doesn't look like the pie charm you might remember. I shall have this lovely microphone. Yes. I just wanted to give you a very speedy tour of the new UI. It is here. It is landed. If you are a new user, when you open pie charm, you will see it by default. If you are an existing user, you need to see it. If you are an existing user, you need to switch it on. Because we didn't want to switch it on for you. Everything has changed. To switch it on, you can just head over to your settings. In Mac, you can go here or command and comma. And look, it's already there. But just search your settings for new UI. You can enable it here. I really like compact mode. It takes away some of the white space. Just a little bit more code aware, more code space. And just have a play around with it. Again, because Jodi has already said this is the EAP that we are using. So there are some new features coming for this in a couple of weeks, including my favorite. You can now customize your toolbar. You can add your frequently used actions to the toolbar. You can change the toolbar color. And you might think that's not cool. But if you have multiple projects running and you are quickly flicking between them, a nice visual indicator is super helpful. So the new UI, it's here. Go check it out. Have a play. Back in your settings, you can submit feedback as well. Let us know what you like. Let us know what you don't like. Because all feedback is super, super important for us. If you do want to, I'm going to take Jodi's thunder now. If you do want to have a play with this, you do need the EAP to get some of the latest features so that the new UI will be in. It's been in PyCharm for a while now. Just not switched on. But if you do want to know how to download the EAP and get it all working, then come and see Jodi at the booth tomorrow. You are there all day? All day. And should be doing AI assistant demos. All day. We don't give her any breaks. Except the one break I take to do my quiz. Oh, yes. So your quiz. I'm not going to trust myself to get the times right, because if I get them wrong, she'll shout at me about that as well as my code. So Jodi, what time of the quiz? Yeah, so we're doing quizzes at 10.30 and 1.15 every day. If you don't have a PyCharm professional license, top three scores in every quiz, win a PyCharm professional license and a book. I love the quizzes. I just thought I'd use this spotlight to advertise them. They're a lot of fun. There's nothing to do with PyCharm. And that's it from us. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you very much. Now, next up, we'll have Optiver. Hello, everyone. My name is Joost Lek. And first of all, I'd like to thank the European organization for having us here and for giving us the honor of being a sponsor of the event. Today, I'd like to tell you a little bit about our company and the roles we have available. So we're Optiver. We're a market-making firm specifically focusing on options trading. That's a lot to unpack, so I'll try and explain a little bit of what's going on in that sentence. We're trying to make markets. That means that we provide both a bid and an offer for specific financial instruments. And by doing that and doing it better than everybody else, we hope that people trade with us as they're doing that. We're not trying to build a big position, but instead we're trying to be there for market participants, trade with them, and at the end of the day, keep basically the difference between that bid and offer as a spread, as it's called. And that's what we use to make our money. We do that on electronic markets throughout Europe from our Amsterdam office. We also have an office in Chicago, and we also have one in Sydney where we do the American and Asia-Pacific markets. So from our Amsterdam office with about 700 people, we service a lot of the major European options markets. A lot of those are in London, but also Frankfurt, Stockholm. All in all, we manage equipment at about 12 exchange locations throughout Europe. So we use our own equipment to connect to exchanges. We have our own network department that manages our internal network between all of these locations throughout Europe and connections to our partner locations in America and Australia. I'm part of the infrastructure team at Optiver, so that means that I focus a lot on hardware deployments, on specifically ensuring that we have low-latency trading systems available. We have other departments at Optiver as well, and a lot of those use Python. Out of the three main technologies we use, C++, C-Sharp, and Python, Python is the one that I'm most familiar with as most of the engineers on site here, as you'll know that understand. The main use cases for Python within our company are data analysis and data processing. We gather a lot of data, what's going on in electronic markets, and we process that data to gather analytics. But also infrastructure management, both monitoring and deployment, are mostly in-house built, mostly Python-based, and there is a lot of trader automation nowadays. The new generation of traders that are coming out of university are actually used to using Python to process data, and so they want to automate their own workflow, they want to provide their own analytics, and we're doing that by providing them a Python platform to do that safely. So that's a little bit about us, and some of the details about the roles we have available. I'm not going to dive into each and every role here, but what I think is good to focus on is we have a lot of roles in infrastructure where we're focusing on automation, so those are roles where people focus nearly full-time on writing Python code that manages our deployment and our own infrastructure, and it's really an area where people can add value to the business with their Python knowledge and experience. You can scan the QR code and figure out more if you'd like to. Also, we have a booth here, so please come and say hi at our booth. I recognize Nicolas de Marchi on the picture who presented earlier today about infrastructure as code as part of our program, and the other picture is from me. Our recruiters are sitting over there, Theo and Bruna, so you might see them in the booth as well, and that's it from me. I'd like to thank you very much. Thank you very much. Next up, we're going to have Kraken. Let's give them a big hand. Just so you know who we are. Just in case. Nice. I haven't prepared too much, but hopefully most of you know a bit about what we do already. If not, we are a software as a service platform in the energy space, specifically promoting green energy as much as possible. We license our software out all across the world, so we've really grown a lot over the last few years. We're now actually in 14 different countries, and we have over 25 million energy accounts on our software now. Our aim is actually to reach 100 million by 2027, which sounds very ambitious, I know, but the trajectory we've had over the last couple of years, it's definitely on the cards, fingers crossed. We have our main hub in London in the UK, but we also have a number of different offices now across Europe, which is why we're here. Our platform is built primarily using Python and Django. Our tech team across the world is 500 engineers, of which probably about half of them are Python developers using Python and Django. We have open roles in all of the countries and cities you can see here. We also hire data engineers, data scientists, and machine learning engineers, all of whom use Python in various different ways. If anyone interested in large-language models that you guys are speaking about, we also work with them. We also have... It's slightly confusing because we're quite a big company, but we also have a Krakenflex software platform, which is a little bit different. It's a software that essentially helps us to control and manage energy assets, like solar panels, wind turbines, wind farms, and also electric vehicles and large-scale battery storage. So that's our team up here in Manchester in the UK, but we also have, again, offices in Turkey, Switzerland, Japan, and the US. That team uses slightly different tech, but they do still use Python. So, again, we're hiring for quite a lot of roles. I think we've got some very ambitious growth plans, so I'm not sure exactly how many open roles we have at the moment, but it's definitely... Yeah, it's more than 100, I think, so there's lots. And, yeah, I'm sure you guys can come over and ask us any more specific questions that you have about the company or about our hiring or anything like that. Please do come and say hi. And I brought some of these because we've been running out of them every day, and everyone seems to ask for them, so if anyone would like one, yeah? Here we go. It's always fun, isn't it? Ooh, that was going to the person behind you, but it's fine. I've got one more. I'm sorry, I'm seeing a hand. But come to our booth, we have got more. Yeah, this is probably what attracts people the most, but, yeah, we do have open roles, so check out our careers page as well. And I did want to say we are not the cryptocurrency company that's also called Kraken, so if you Google Kraken and you see that one, just keep scrolling with the tech company in the energy space, so, yeah, that's us. Yeah, thank you, and also thanks, obviously, to the organizers and to everyone for coming. Yeah, it's been a really great event. I think it's our second time sponsoring, so it definitely won't be the last. So, yeah, we'll hopefully see you all next year. Thanks, guys. Thank you very much. I was just telling Jodi that I have, like, six of these octopus at home. Every time I go to a god-business grappler. But, yeah, so last but not the least, we'll have Temporal joining us and tell us about themselves. Hi. So I did not understand the assignment and I did not have slides, so thank you so much for someone putting up the logo. Woo! So, hi. My name is Jessica West. I head up developer relations and community at Temporal. So, kind of in my title, community is incredibly important to me and also with the company that I work for. We actually, I heard of your Python I attended in 2018 and was just amazed by the community there, and I was like, this is amazing. I don't know what company I go to. We will be here. We will be sponsoring. So I'm so pleased to be at a different company and back here, and we're the first, this is Temporal's first conference here, and we've just had an amazing time. I can't, I cannot say enough about the community that you brought here together and continue to build. Everybody's so curious and so kind and lovely, and we've just had an enormous amount of conversations. So, one, I just wanted to give a shout out to the organizers of volunteers for bringing this all together. Yeah, cannot say enough good things. So, that being said, so Temporal, we are on the other side of the hall. I haven't had to history leave the booth, unfortunately I didn't even know this was hall, it was down here, but Temporal is kind of like a workflow as code. There's a very big discussion point, so if you want to hear more, come talk to me at the booth. Unfortunately, we aren't hiring in Europe right now for any engineering positions, but we have some engineering positions open in Seattle and I believe in New York, so anybody that's interested in US based or wants to go to the US for whatever reason, you can be over there. But we are a distributed company, so we're working on expanding that engineering base there. I personally split my time between London and Seattle because I like the rain. And the rain likes me, so it works out that way. So, a few other things about Temporal. So, again, community is incredibly important to us. Our founders actually have been working on our open source product for the last 10 years or so, and then made it a real company, is what I like to call it, in 2019. And then we've been working on, we've got our cloud offering now as of last year, which allows us to be here and spending more money on conferences and going out and reaching out to the language communities. So, with that, we just released our Python SDK. Yay! And it went into public preview in January and February this year. And we've seen some great adoption and some really good engagement, but we can be better. So, I'd always want to hear from the Python community about what we can be doing better. Is there anything else you want to see? And is there some cool ways or are you using it that maybe we didn't think about so that we can bring that together? So, it is all open source, so that means you can use it for free, MIT license. And we really encourage everybody to go and check it out and let us know what you think. My team's job is to make sure that this is really easy to use out of the gate, like there's no gotchas. And so, if you find that when you have a gotcha, you know, let us know on Slack, Twitter, Discord, really, like, anywhere on the Internet, send smoke signals, we'll probably find them. But really, for our sponsorship here, we just wanted to engage the community a bit more and show you our investment into Python community and specifically EuroPython. So, with that, we're really looking forward to coming back next year. I've already been talking through all the details and working through Event Recap. We'll be here all day tomorrow. And with that, we do have a raffle we're doing. We've been doing one each day. We have one item left, which is a Baby Yoda Lego set. It's going to be the best one. So, for anybody that wants to enter, come over to scan and enter this form or I've got my phone that I can scan your badge if you don't feel like typing anything in. And we are out of t-shirts, unfortunately. I mean, the basic ones. It's just black and white. But we'll be sending out an email next week with any links to those as well. So, again, our goal was just to get to know you all and say hi and let you know that we are excited to be a part of that. So, let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Brilliant. This brings us to the end of this session. I would like to take a minute and thank all of our sponsors. Thank you so much for taking out the time. Just like talking about your companies, the available roles and everything. We love you and we know that you love us. Thank you very much.
