Echoing the unique nature of the role and the people we're looking for, this is a unique recruitment process. There's no formal interview process - #HackaFuture is your chance to let your skills shine through. To apply, there's just a short form to complete outlining your passions, career (if relevant) and achievements to date. Be assured, we value strengths and attitude over formal qualifications or years of experience. If you have a portfolio, video, app or other content that showcases your expertise and sets you or your team apart from other applicants, please include it.
