• Experience or a good understanding of Product Management.
• The communication and collaboration skills to work with business, technical, and development teams.
• Expert knowledge in Python backend frameworks, ideally one of Django, FastAPI, or Flask.

What makes you stand out?

• Experience with low code front‑end frameworks (e.g. Streamlit or Dash)
• Experience with modern web development frameworks (e.g., React, Angular) and familiarity with data analysis and visualisation tools (e.g., Databricks, SQL, Power BI)
• Excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills.
• A self‑starting approach to your work.

Why join our team:

• Professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
• A vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities.
