Dyson is a global technology company with a unique philosophy - to solve problems that others ignore, first. It transforms every category it enters with radical and iconic re-inventions that work, perform, and look vastly different.
Dyson is rapidly expanding; in its new and core categories, and across all of its global markets. The next few years are going to be Dyson’s biggest and busiest yet. We are expanding in new markets with new products offering a fantastic experience for our users.
Dyson’s culture is unique; dynamic, inventive, technology-obsessed and decidedly un-corporate. The mindset is geared to constant change and Dyson’s pace brings constant challenge. It’s not easy or comfortable, but it’s this way of working that drives performance. Dyson suits people with the courage and resilience to find their own way, spotting opportunities where others don’t, and having the self-belief to persevere where others give up. “Good enough” isn’t good enough. Experiences are more important than experience. And attitude counts as much as aptitude.
Dyson Software is responsible for developing software for the products (Embedded Software), Dyson Link mobile app and the Dyson Cloud. Dyson Software is the fastest growing engineering unit at Dyson as more software goes on every new product we make. Products become smarter and use advanced technologies to interact with. Therefore, we are looking for software architects, who will work close with the software head of software.
