About Us:

We are a highly technical, creative and collaborative team made up of App, Cloud, Data Science, and Embedded Engineers.

We partner with teams across Dyson to rapidly refine early product concepts and ideas, by developing working prototypes that de-risk tech and help production teams understand what is required so they can focus on delivering.

We are also responsible for understanding the latest software developments to spotting opportunities for future concepts or platform improvements.

Our team:

We have a culture of trust and respect; we believe the teams themselves are the best people to decide how they deliver work, and that within the teams everyone's contribution is vital.

We regularly share our knowledge and interests through community meetings, which regularly lead to the adoption of new technologies, methods, and cross-team collaboration.

We are a growing group, currently split into three interdisciplinary scrum teams. Team members are from diverse educational backgrounds and experience levels.

When not building software, we can be found cycling, gaming, cooking, learning foreign languages, making music or building stuff. We're a very sociable team, often meeting outside of work online or in person.
