Are you a technical expert, looking to spend more time with customers?
As a Client-facing Developer at Cambridge Intelligence, you’ll work directly with our customers, helping them to create solutions to their data visualization challenges.
What’s involved?
In this client-facing role, you’ll work directly with our customers and prospects, helping them to find the best solutions to their data visualization challenges.
You’ll use your technical knowledge to demo our technology, and your coding expertise to build prototypes and proof-of-concepts that showcase our products’ capabilities.
This person will report to our Commercial Development Lead, but be a key member of our wider development team. You should enjoy working on a varied set of projects, providing technical solutions across all kinds of use cases.
Who’s the ideal candidate?
Outstanding communication skills are a must. You’ll need to understand how our products fit into complex projects, and explain it in a clear and accessible way.
You’ll also need to be technical. A degree in a technical subject, alongside experience in web programming, JavaScript and React is essential.
You’ll be a key link to our customers, so you should feel energized by helping them to explore their data networks and build real-world solutions to their challenges. That’ll require you to nurture strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders, and collaborate effectively with remote teams and your manager across timezones.
Finally, this role can be fast-paced. You’ll need to be an effective and quick learner.
You might also have experience in:
- Writing blog posts
- Public speaking or presenting at customer conferences
- Data visualization or analysis
- Programming experience with frameworks such as Angular and Vue
- UX and UI techniques to produce intuitive software
Who you’ll work with
You’ll work with the wider development teams and also closely alongside our commercial and product teams, providing direct feedback on new features and acting as the ‘voice of the customer’.
Opportunities to grow
Everyone here gets funded professional development time, with up to five days allocated to learning new skills – whether that’s at conferences, training programs or courses.
