Sr. Applications Engineer (Aprisa)
About the role
The job has flexible hours and will not require overtime. You will meet customer expectations by working as part of a team, not by being a hero. When you must occasionally shift your time to work with European or PacRim/Indian stakeholders, you'll be able to take corresponding time in lieu. The hours are flexible to accommodate family and personal commitments, but in return, you'll be a little more available to communications outside of normal working periods. Face-to-face time with our customers and the team will be important, but you'll be welcome to work some days at home if you'd like. You'll also need to travel to meet customers and colleagues at times. Some of this will be quite a lot of fun, other times it will be a lot of work.
