Tools and Technologies

As a hands-on client and team leader, we expect you’ll have significant experience with many of the tools and technologies we frequently use with our clients.  While we know it's impossible to be an expert on all the tools available, for this senior position we expect you'll be able to perform advanced tasks in a majority of the below areas independently, as well as be able to train or upskill client and colleague engineers. For those areas where you are not able to perform advanced tasks, we expect the ability to comfortably perform intermediate tasks independently and demonstrate the ability to advance these areas quickly.
