We are a new generation consultancy based across UK and EU and founded on the premises of the engineering excellence and
empowering people to make an impact.
We work with all modern tech stacks and typically run agile scrum on all our projects.
Are you passionate about data and its transformational powers? Do you like being able to make a huge difference in a limited
period of time? We might be just the right place for you.
We expect you to have some knowledge about best practices in designing and building scalable and performant cloud-native data
platforms and be comfortable with testing them.
We will always see you as a human being and will do our very best to support your needs and wellbeing – well-designed co-working
and collaboration spaces, remote working patterns that work for you, parenting leave, sabbaticals and ability to work on personal
projects.
We believe that a geled team is worth its weight in gold – we will do everything we can to avoid breaking well-performing teams.
Whilst continuity across every project is not always possible, we thoughtfully assemble high-performing, blended teams with the
appropriate levels of experience and expertise to deliver the best outcomes for our clients — and teams you’ll enjoy working with.
We are committed to prioritising the wellbeing of our employees. To fulfill this promise, we provide a comprehensive employee
wellbeing program that includes mental health support, flexible working arrangements, wellness activities, and a positive work
culture.
We recognise that the world of tech delivery has moved on significantly in the last 15 years and know a thing or two about how to
bring projects over the line without experiencing lots of despair and burn-out. In fact, we like to believe that our projects are
the opposite of that – they are run smoothly and most of the time are fun to work on.
