Job description

Work where work matters.

Elevate your career at Qodea, where innovation isn't just a buzzword, it's in our DNA.

We are a global technology group built for what's next, offering high calibre professionals the platform for high stakes work, the kind of work that defines an entire career. When you join us, you're not just taking on projects, you're solving problems that don't even have answers yet.

You will join the exclusive roster of talent that global leaders, including Google, Snap, Diageo, PayPal, and Jaguar Land Rover call when deadlines seem impossible, when others have already tried and failed, and when the solution absolutely has to work.

Forget routine consultancy. You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour meet to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This is work that leaves a mark, work you’ll be proud to tell your friends about.

• Develop and deploy machine learning models on Google Cloud
• Use version control and agile working practices
• Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in machine learning and bring new ideas to the team.

What Success Looks Like

• Demonstrates adeptness in persuasive communication and making requests while maintaining harmonious relationships
• Provides valuable feedback and acknowledges achievements in a constructive manner
• Utilizes diverse influencing techniques to achieve goals
• Possesses exceptional conflict resolution skills and can effectively negotiate in difficult situations
• Maintains a delicate balance between personal and team objectives
