Overview
Job Description
Overview Helping our clients move from a culture of delivery towards a culture of learning. Great technology companies are built on incredible design, engineering and strategy, working in unison, operating at the very heart of an organisation and its audience. Enabling organisations to become great technology companies is our mission, and our promise to our clients. We aim to leave them with the mindset, tools, skills and expertise they need to go beyond their own expectations, revolutionise their sectors, and for us to be proud of the change we create with them and their customers. About YLD Our CEO credits our continued growth and success down to those we hire. Our employees are "good enough to be dangerous" and we believe that bringing extraordinary people together produces great results. We are a strong proponent of continuous delivery and rigorous testing practices, and we help our customers move towards modern best-practices with minimal risk. It's not just about lines of code. We educate, co-develop and automate, whilst passing on our expertise to our customers' development teams in the process. YLD has offices in London, Manchester, Lisbon and Porto.
