Research Development Software Engineer at CowboySmall
Leinster, Ireland
Summary
👤
SeniorJerry Kiely is a Research Development Software Engineer based in Leinster, Ireland with over a decade of experience building research-driven systems and technical architectures across finance, R&D labs, and startups. Proficient in a wide range of languages—from Java, Python and C++ to Rust, Go, Scala, Julia and functional JVM languages—he blends low-level systems work with high-level research tooling. His career alternates between deep R&D roles at CowboySmall and technical architect positions at firms like Optily and OCREX, reflecting a pattern of returning to research-focused engineering after shaping production architectures. He has applied his skills to finance engines, predictive analytics and large-scale online learning, often translating research prototypes into production-ready systems. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and as a technical lead (including a brief CTO stint), he brings pragmatic system design instincts honed across consulting and in-house teams. A curious polyglot programmer, he tends to join projects that sit at the intersection of research and production delivery.
