As they move into phase two - which will involve multiple and varied projects running in parallel - there are opportunities for a select few new hires to join the project team.
This is a rare chance to work with and learn from a team of extremely highly regarded, experienced and friendly software engineers. The engineering team are open to new technologies and creative ideas.
