Role purpose

First of all - we're adaptable and interested in a mix of people to make the best team. We're currently looking for someone that has a lot of front-end experience but is comfortable building in the back-end too.

This is an early hire for a young, fast growing consultancy. We're looking for someone that is adaptable and driven that wants to grow with our business and have a strong say in how we shape the company.

Work with our expert data and analytics consultants to help customers deliver more value from their data.

This will be a key role in the technical leadership and delivery teams and will guide the ongoing technology strategy and roadmap goals of our customers.

Day-to-day work will involve project delivery and collaborating with stakeholders across our internal and customer teams. Technical work will include building, testing, deploying, maintaining, packaging, and explaining software solutions for our customers - built with modern tools across the open source and cloud platform landscape.

You'll have to get stuck into the end-to-end software development workflow - everything from requirements gathering to deploying front-end solutions.

You'll spend time capturing requirements and working with the other consultants to turn them into production-grade solutions - getting value into production is our prime concern for all our engagements.

You will act as a champion and subject matter expert for software engineering across the business, helping to cross-skill and upskill others.

You will also be heavily involved in the outreach and knowledge sharing that Hypercube does. We strongly believe that giving back to the community is an important part of our purpose and the best way to learn. We will help you grow your brand through speaking, blogging, or other outreach methods should you wish.

Finally, you’ll be in the driving seat to help shape and win new projects, whether that be through presales demos, meeting with prospective customers, or shaping longer-term relationships.

Accountabilities

• Work with developers, managers, and business stakeholders to understand and define components of the technology landscape and how it relates to the business strategy
• Understand and translate end-user requirements into designs and delivery plans for effective back-end and front-end software

• Design, develop, execute, and maintain software solutions and front-end web applications for our customers
• Discover, analyse, and present findings to customers and stakeholders

• Produce high-quality communications, documentation, and presentations of solutions for colleagues and customers
• Subject matter expert and evangelist for software engineering practices
• Contribution to Hypercube’s blog and other outreach efforts
• Working with the business development team to shape and win new projects
• Helping to grow both our internal knowledge and skillsets as we scale.
