You will be working at the interface of many different creative, technological, and academic disciplines, including information retrieval, data visualization, natural language processing and interaction design.
Main duties:
Rapid prototyping using an agile approach informed by stakeholder feedback
Software development in front end technologies primarily using VueJS, HTML, CSS, and Mongo, whilst implementing the latest best practices
Experience with version management, software testing, DevOps and CI workflows
Ideation and exploration of new ideas and approaches to structured searching and information retrieval
