Making high-velocity contributions across multiple technical domains
Approach problem-solving holistically, considering solutions through a combination of technology and process

The area is home to a wonderful array of cafés, restaurants, pubs and galleries. For the more adventurous, there's some of the best street food London has to offer right on our doorstep. We don’t expect you to be in the office every day - there’s plenty of flexibility so you can achieve a great work/life balance.
