Continually improve usability and responsiveness, making it the most intuitive and easy to use data platform in existence.
Improve our development and deployment processes, creating a platform that is a joy to develop against.

The successful candidates will join a growing team of expert computer scientists and engineers with a vast amount of advanced cloud and web application delivery experience. The candidates will be required to work full time at our office in the heart of London’s vibrant Shoreditch. Remuneration is at the top end of the spectrum for the qualification level as we reward talent and expect high quality results.
