Imagineer | Software Development  

Product Team:

The Software engineering/DevOps function will be part of the greater product team. The team is comprised of Imagineers from a diverse range of backgrounds in engineering, science, and design. We all share a profound understanding of customer needs and the ability to synthesize those needs with business objective and technology solutions. Innovation doesn’t happen on its own, and we’re at the forefront of it doing real research and development to solve problems that don’t have answers. We apply interdisciplinary engineering knowledge and user-centered design principles within local market contexts to design and build holistic experience ecosystems that bridge the technology and infrastructure gaps present in Migo’s markets. We participate in the full product development process from conception of new product ideas through analysis of business viability through development into real products, all while maintaining close collaboration with teams across the organization and our customers.
