Your C or C++ skills will be well established and you will have excelled in maths academically before you became a programmer. Here is a real opportunity to gain respect for the elegance of your solution. You will be comfortable turning to Python to provide sample data to exercise your algorithms.

You must offer an impressive academic record (2.1/1st, good 'A' levels) and solid experience of software development (C++ or C ). Your excellent maths skills will be utilised to make architectural optimisations at the beginning of the design flow and hence have a bigger impact on the quality of results than can be possible later in subsequent steps. Ideally you would have some understanding of hardware design however this can be picked up in the role.
