Technology & Intelligence Team

The focus of our team is on building useful products that can improve how the Groupe operates. Your role will be half innovation and half implementation. We want to hear your ideas and lean on your expertise and insights to improve what we’re doing. This means taking, interrogating, and improving briefs as well as creating them.

We focus on impactful solutions, this means working on problems that can change our clients’ business or improve capabilities across the world of technology, artificial intelligence, or data usage. We embrace a serverless and microservice driven architecture. This means that we work quickly and keep technology as lightweight as possible, focussing on building agnostic technologies that we can reuse and repurpose. This will mean working across a broad range of platforms and infrastructures and making the most of what is available, leading to autonomy for each member of the team to solve problems. This requires initiative and proactivity from each and every member of the team to set and hit expectations.
