Senior Platform Engineer

hyperexponential

We are a tech scale-up on a mission to reimagine technology to transform analytical decision-making, helping our customers make smarter decisions faster. Our SaaS platform, hx Renew, allows users to build and deploy mathematical models that can harness the power of weird and wonderful datasets using open source languages such as Python. 

Engineering at hyperexponential

Our engineering department is a melting pot of some of the brightest (and kindest!) engineers in the industry.

The level of complexity of hx Renew requires a highly technical, true engineering mindset so an output of this is a deeply creative, innovative environment where we push technological boundaries, both through our work and our regular (and sometimes irregular!) hackathons.
