Role Summary
An exciting opportunity to start a career with a diverse and fast-growing team, developing your skills on a variety of innovative projects.
We're looking for someone with a strong interest in software development in the context of large scale, low-latency data processing, and presentation of data within a web interface.

- You will learn a range of current and new technologies from experienced software and hardware engineers.
