About the Project
Our client is expanding a large, scalable guest/operator experience platform used in the leisure and entertainment industry. The platform has been under development for the past year and is now moving into rapid modular expansion. Each new customer requires additional features, integrations, and customized modules.
We are forming two fully staffed nearshore development teams, and each team requires a strong Technical Lead who can guide engineering quality, architecture, and delivery.
