• You will want to work with the best to deliver the best
• Be part of a firm that is leading the AI revolution
• Work in a supportive, collaborative, somewhat geeky environment where fun and technical innovation coexist daily (ask us about regular games sessions, hacky standups, or why all the ducks)
• To work on challenging local and international projects for big-name clients across a range of industries all trying to work out how they can get the most value from their data
• Hamilton based and environment that supports flexible working arrangements

Here are some of the things we are looking for.

We have the ability to support your development, so even if you don’t tick all the boxes, if you can tick some, we would love to hear from you:

• Strong experience in software development using languages such as JavaScript, Python, or C#
