What will your day look like?
You will spend your days working through and developing novel solutions to complex technical problems in collaboration with both your NearForm colleagues and NearForm partners in the ecosystem.
Your days will vary, some days involve long sessions in front of the laptop, or a half-day design session collaborating with other NearForm R&D engineers. Others may involve travelling to and speaking at conferences or writing blog posts about research findings.
Whatever your day brings, there will always be a new challenge and a complex problem for you to solve with the flexibility for you to work around whatever life may bring.
