The role

After the first project ships, a client in United Kingdom needs one person who knows their business, their product and our team. That is you. You run monthly reviews on the numbers the client cares about, you scope and sell the next phase and the retainer with a solution lead, you catch risk early, and you turn satisfied clients into references and referrals. You are measured on retention, on growth of the book, and on the client's own results.

The UK market

Who you will sell to in the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom is where most of our white label partners operate and where we are building a direct client base. Buyers are agencies, consultancies and mid sized businesses that want senior engineering at a sensible cost, GDPR aligned delivery, a fixed scope and a supplier that writes clearly. Decisions are considered and relationships last.

  • Health insurance

    Medical cover for you in every office, with family options where the local plan allows.

  • Paid leave and public holidays

    Annual leave above the statutory minimum, sick leave, and the public holidays of the office you work from.

  • End of service and statutory benefits

    Gratuity in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and EOBI and provident contributions in Pakistan, as the law in each office requires.

  • Training and certifications

    Microsoft, AWS, Google and platform certifications paid for, and time set aside to earn them.

  • Hybrid and flexible working

    Office days for the work that needs a room, remote days for the work that does not, agreed with your lead.
