• Work directly with clients on technical onboarding, implementation, issue resolution and product training
• Build and support dashboards and visualisations in Grafana, and explore operational data in systems like QuestDB and InfluxDB
• Collaborate with software engineers and internal ML teams to shape new product capabilities and deploy analytics components reliably

Who they're looking for:

• 3+ years' experience in Software Delivery or Integration Engineering
• A curious, pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys getting hands-on with production systems

• Linux
• Grafana / Application Monitoring
• Dashboard experience

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, comfortable representing the business to clients
• Degree (or equivalent hands‑on experience) in Computer Science, Information Systems, or Engineerin
