More:
We are a long-established technology and telecommunications business in Kent with our own core network and in-house software development. Our SaaS geolocation and workforce safety platform is used across construction, utilities, transport, aviation, and the public sector to track people and assets on live operational sites and alert workers when they move into hazardous areas. This is safety-relevant software where the data path genuinely matters, not reporting dashboards. We have been operating since 2008, we are profitable and backed, and our small engineering team gives the person who joins real influence over how things are built. This is a full-time hybrid role based in Kings Hill, West Malling, with 2 days onsite and 3 days from home. We offer a salary of up to £70,000 depending on experience, private medical insurance, a company pension, free onsite parking, a cycle to work scheme, an employee discount scheme, casual dress, and direct access to our CTO.
