Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background. This is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and how our product develops to meet our customers' needs. We're doing well, but there's lots more to do in order to maintain the high bar and pace that we've set. If your experience isn't an exact match for this job description, but you have transferable skills/experience that you think would be a great fit, please outline this in a cover letter. Everyone here is growing personally as the company grows, so if that sounds like something you'd like to be part of, we'd love to see your application. We are also currently hiring across the Engineering department, with roles at different levels - all open opportunities can be found on our careers page: https://dayshape.com/careers/. The deadline for applications is 12:00 on Wednesday 26th March, with interviews taking place over the following couple of weeks.
