  • Gain exposure across the entire technical stack, from novel sensing technologies and proprietary hardware to mobile / web software and ML (Machine Learning) algorithms.
  • Personal career‑focused development and training with access to workshops, coursework, and experienced mentors / consultants.
  • Regular offsite activities – past events include rafting, cottaging, axe‑throwing, sports leagues, and the usual BBQ.
