  • Engage in the agile process, providing input into the planning and scoping of new features and providing regular and accurate status updates of ongoing projects

Examples of upcoming projects on the roadmap

  • Implement a brand new, high performance MDX/XMLA query engine to replace an existing, highly customized, 3rd party library to better fit our performance and architecture requirements

  • Modernise our existing .NET Framework services to a .NET Core software stack and to enable deployment on to Linux containers

  • Extend our schemas with new metrics and calculations
