What does it feel like to touch a million lives everyday?
I work with a team made up of some really clever and fun people. Everyone is equally committed to what we do and we're trying to achieve something together. I don't feel like I work for someone; I feel like I work for myself with a bunch of other people with shared goals.
The really wonderful thing is that in our development group I'm surrounded by a team of people who believe passionately that it's the journey and how we deal with it that defines us, and not the destination. So we are constantly looking for ways to improve what we do and how we do it, which in itself is inspiring. I consider myself privileged to be working alongside a team of incredibly passionate and extremely talented geeks.
I love that no two days are the same. Each day I am presented with new challenges, new ideas and new perspectives. It is great to work for a company where our customers are at the heart of all we do, and everyone at Talis has bought into that ethos. I enjoy the collaboration across the business and that each team interacts and works with others and not in isolation. Talis is a great place to learn, achieve and be stretched as an individual.
I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. On a bad day, I just look around at the people here, think about the culture and philosophy we have as a business, and what our vision is going forward and I count myself very lucky.
We build products, provide services and strive to apply technology to make education more connected.
At the centre of it all - we are a bunch of innovators. Go getters. Doers. Always looking to solve meaningful problems. We do this by working as small autonomous teams. This means you will have a big impact on whatever project you do.
Every one of us cares about what we do and the lives we touch. We take great care in who we invite to work with us, and once you are here, you will be trusted to do a great job. That trust comes with accountability. We are all accountable for our success, and also for each other.
We measure in impact and value. Your responsibility is to your peers, not a timesheet. There are no set hours, and many work remotely.
Each team reports transparently every week. You can ask any questions you like, anytime.
When you do find yourself in the office, you'll be right in the creative hub of Birmingham's thriving Jewellery Quarter.
Our newly refurbished Grade II listed building is full of character, and it's also where we host local meetups and of course our infamous hack days.
We like to solve problems. It's what we do, and we also like a bit of fun!
So about once every few months we put the two together. When one of us got fed up with opening the fridge and find milk is finished, we forged Milkmaid, an internet-enabled sensor. Our wild west 'who broke the build' display places a $6m bounty on our CTO for breaking tests! What will you get involved in?
