The clients we partner with range from boutique to multinational,
whose users span from employees in your local supermarket to vulnerable
young adults.
You’ll gain experience with industries from NGOs to Travel and have
the opportunity to provide a meaningful voice in developing products
that improve people's lives.
In recent projects, we created a Smart Cities platform using React
and AWS's IoT products for SSE and also launched a pilot project for
NIHR, the research arm of the NHS, which required AWS middleware and
native Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) apps.
For your first project, you will join a team with a mix of existing
and new employees across London and Wrocław., working with a travel
client on their hero consumer app. This world-leading app contains
features like geo-sensitive airport maps, food pre-order in the
terminal, and prebooking of spaces in lounges. You'll be tasked with
writing new features into an existing code base to create alternative
products for different user/feature sets. We pride ourselves on quality,
and we ensure this with unit testing, automation testing, clean
architectural approaches (eg Redux), and functional programming.
