With this in mind, we strive to be at the leading edge of technology when it comes to build the platform that meets the needs of our customers.

Our product focused delivery teams are self-contained and have end to end ownership of their products. “Build it, ship it, support it” is our motto. You will be working in a small self-managed team, consisting of product owners, QA engineers, Software Engineers, and people from across the business.

You will be able to competently challenge stakeholder objectives in search of higher-level goals/hidden motivation, distinguishing between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’ and establishing the business value, understanding and maximising the value of products delivered.
Our Product Owners represent the “voice of the customer” in collaboration with the delivery team and ensure everyone is aware of what we need and why. You can actively participate in team’s meetings and ceremonies to follow the progress and ensure what is delivered meets the business needs, helping to define what success looks like in terms of measurable outcomes.
