• Work closely with clients and internal teams to translate technical ideas into practical, high-impact solutions

Who We’re Looking For

• A strong background in software engineering, data, analytics or a related field (at least bachelor’s degree qualified)
• Minimum 3 years working in a software engineering, data or analytics focused role
• Experience with programming languages including Python, JavaScript or similar
• Comfort working with APIs, automation, dashboards, and/or data pipelines
• Confidence working with large, complex datasets and solving technical problems
• A hands-on, curious mindset with a willingness to challenge existing approaches
