Questions

  • Is the role on-site/remote/hybrid?
  • I tried to research what Next Gen Engineering is doing, but i haven’t found much information about it. Can you tell me a bit more about the kind of projects team is working on?
  • The job listing says AWS/Azure. Do they work with both?
  • The job listing says that mobility is required to spend time with customers on-site. Does this require having a car?
  • Are everyone from the Next Gen Engineering in the UK, or are the teams spread globally?
