What your job will look like.......

We have a motto that "If you are good enough, you are old enough" and so we will give you experience on any projects that you feel comfortable doing.

The following day it could be changing a 400 million row MySql database to make it run more efficiently when it syncs to Google's API. Having built all our technology ourselves, we are a technology focussed company and so you have an amazing opportunity to get involved in some cutting edge projects.
