Project Overview

We are partnering with a new client in the workforce development and upskilling industry who is building an innovative platform that combines AI with human insight to deliver immersive workplace simulations. This platform helps employees learn, practice, and master critical interpersonal and cognitive skills, resulting in measurable improvements in individual performance, team productivity, retention, and overall organizational health.

Role Overview

This role will be a strong focus on backend to join this new client engagement. This role will be critical to the success of the project, working closely with Design and Product teams in an agile environment.
