* Assisting Sales Engineers and Solutions Architects on bids and solution design
* Learning to align technical solutions with our customers’ requirements and their business’s objectives
We’re a flexible‑first organisation because we believe people do their best work with choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to connect in person at least eight days a month. That could mean time in the office, volunteering days, or away days – anywhere collaboration happens.
Bring your authentic self
We’re looking for motivated candidates who are passionate about technology and keen to be at the forefront of understanding our technology.
