Full Stack Software Engineer - R&D

hackajob is collaborating with Third Bridge Group to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.

Technology is at the core of all our products and services. We map, capture and distribute knowledge at scale, which translates on the tech side into a wide gamut of complex problems to solve. To keep looking for better ways to fill our clients needs, we have a dedicated R&D team spearheading new product concepts, working alongside our main technology team which maintains existing products.

This Software Engineer role is a key enabler for the R&D team, contributing to upcoming innovative products by translating complex business visions into first class human interfaces.

The R&D team covers, autonomously, all aspects of the product development, from ideation and business model to market launch. You will be part of a closely knit cross-functional team that has direct access to all internal and external stakeholders at any level.

Responsibilities

You will aim to maximise user goals, improve the speed of concept validation, minimize development overhead and provide clear milestones.

With your help, our team’s knowledge and best practices on human interfaces will be on par with industry bests; we will avoid bottlenecks around human interface development and validation and will be able to test multiple concepts in parallel, fail fast and iterate in short cycles.
