Desired Candidate Profile
Technology plays a critical role at Bridge in enabling us to provide education at massive scale and low cost it's one of the key elements that gives us the ability to deliver what no one else can. Tech spans several key functions, from the hardware and software that our academies use to run all aspects of teaching and management, including mobile payments, to the systems that enable our country headquarters to manage massive local operations, to the data backbone that informs all of our strategic and tactical decision making. Its a lot of custom software development and a lot of back office systems.
We've got a ridiculously ambitious mission at Bridge, and it's a place where passionate technologists have a chance to directly change the world. No kidding.
About the Role
Tech at Bridge is a highly complex, vertically-integrated affair, with systems supporting an ever expanding range of functions and countries, and crossing between software development, IT operations, academy operations, and logistics/supply chain. At the same time, our teams run lean and things change fast governments make policy decisions that affect us, launching new countries is a frenetic affair, and we still need to evolve our core technology offering.
This role is about ensuring that the software we develop at Bridge combines equal measures of delivery excellence, business relevance, and innovation. It means balancing the tactical needs of what needs to be built with the strategic technical vision of robust, distributed systems that support our ever expanding portfolio, across multiple global regions. Its about working with and building our globally distributed, self-organising, autonomous teams to ensure theyre delivering what the business needs now, and also years from now both in a mentoring capacity and in a hands-on capacity, helping to design and deliver key components of our platform.
Over the past couple years, the software team has been on a journey to transform itself into the lean, highly-leveraged team necessary to support Bridges ambitious expansion plan adopting continuous delivery practices, a microservices platform, feature-toggles, and cloud-first architectures. But we need to keep pushing expanding automated testing, actionable data insights, and innovation at the intersection of hardware, software, and data. Think adaptive curriculum, facial recognition, OCR, fraud detection but keep in mind that most of our schools lack power, reliable connectivity, or technically sophisticated users, so the challenge for Bridge everywhere and always is to innovate at a world class level in highly constrained environments.
This person will report to the CTO as part of the core technology leadership team, alongside directors owning the Product Management, IT Operations/Service Delivery, and Programme Management functions.
