This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Client Principal Rich Worrall to better understand his role and to feature the great work he has been doing! Q: How do you find working in the public sector? A: I love it. We're doing something that's rewarding, that's important and will help people that live in this country access services or information that they need. It helps them in their day to day life. Q: What do you like most about working at Made Tech? A: I think the people are the best thing. We've got some fantastically talented people here and I am constantly learning and being inspired. We're hiring! Learn more and apply on our Careers page!
This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Head of Product Management and Business Analysis Andreas England to better understand his role and to feature the great work he has been doing! Q: How do you find working in the public sector? A: I really love the difference in focus. Prior to this, in a lot of commercial work, I focused on a product or competition, and now it’s about making things for the public. I love the fact that we make the thing that the public actually uses and interacts with. We make the tangible bit for them and I feel really proud to do that. Q: What do you like most about working at Made Tech? A: I’ve written down this phrase here called torturous freedom. That’s the best because one of the things that I really suffer from is I get bored. But now I’m in the position where there’s always something to do and there’s always another challenge. We're hiring Business Analysts in London and Manchester! Learn more and apply on our Careers page!
This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Engineer 2 Kyle Jones to better understand his role and to feature the great work he has been doing! Q: What do you like most about being a Software Engineer? A: The two main elements of the job that I enjoy the most are problem-solving and having to constantly learn new things. Each new thing has its own advantages and disadvantages and a lot of them make solving different problems that you come up against a lot easier and even solve problems that you couldn’t solve before. Q: What do you like most about working at Made Tech? A: It’s being able to work on projects that benefit society and being valued as a person rather than a resource. I also like that the learning culture here is very much front and centre. We're hiring Software Engineers in London, Manchester, Bristol and Swansea! Learn more and apply on our Careers page.
This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Head of Design Harry Trimble to better understand his role and to feature the great work he has been doing! Q: What do you like most about your role? A: I get a real buzz from making space for people to do design. It’s like the invisible bit of design — everyone sees the interesting prototypes and things we use. But actually the space that needs to be made to enable people to do really great work — that’s just as important. Q: What do you like most about working at Made Tech? A: I really like the emphasis on problem-solving. I’ve worked in a couple of places where there has been an attitude that we need to have enough decisions made so we can start building stuff. I’ve seen that there is a super-appetite here that engineers want to solve problems and be involved in research. I think that’s something I’ve really enjoyed. We're currently hiring Designers!

This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Senior Delivery Manager Gráinne Blake to better understand her role and to feature the great work she has been doing! Read the interview: https://www.madetech.com/blog/made-tech-team-interview-grainne-blake-senior-delivery-manager/ Q: How do you find working in the public sector? A: I really like it. To be honest, I had a few reservations when I was joining Made Tech about the public sector but I find the work really rewarding and it’s that whole idea of impacting a citizen’s life that really hits home for a lot of people at Made Tech. Q: What do you like most about being a Delivery Manager? A: I like the variety of work. I love knowing that this week probably won’t be the same as next week and if it is there’s probably a problem that I need to work on. It’s really great having that variety of work from week to week or day to day. We're currently hiring Delivery Managers! Learn more and apply here: https://www.madetech.com/careers/
This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Community Manager Vikki Gill to better understand her role and to feature the great work she has been doing! Q: What attracted you to Made Tech? A: The people and the culture. I was always hearing really good stories about how great the people are and the social side outside of work. It was also the work that Made Tech does. That needs to be done in the public sector, and especially during the pandemic, it’s been pretty humbling to see the kind of work that we're doing and how we're helping people. Q: What does your role here involve? A: Lots and lots of stuff — one good thing is it's never boring! It's always changing, but the main focus of my role is onboarding. I also help support Learn Tech and how that's evolved and just general wellbeing at Made Tech. I do a bit of office management here and there —less so these days — and basically try to be there for people with anything they need. Read the interview:
Last month we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Delivery Principal Anikh Subhan to better understand his role and to feature the great work he has been doing! Q: What does your role here involve? A: The key thing is overseeing one of my clients in the London office and the multiple work streams within that. My role is about managing and providing the right kind of support and guidance to our teams. I also work with our key client stakeholders to help shape up successful deliveries of our products and services. Q: What do you like most about being a Delivery Principal? A: I think it has got to be the variety, both in terms of the type of work we’re doing and the types of people and teams we’re working with. It’s also the reward of seeing the results of our hard work which is great and really exciting. We're hiring Delivery Principals in London, Manchester and Bristol!

This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Senior Engineer Tess Barnes to better understand her role and to feature the great work she has been doing! Q: How do you find working in the public sector? A: I’ve found it really interesting. There’s a lot of constraints and challenges that I wasn’t expecting, but there’s a really good feeling of wanting to do things in an efficient and modern way. I had a terrible impression that it was all in the dark ages and it absolutely isn’t. Q: What do you like most about being a Senior Engineer? A: It is the ability to get hands-on, get into the code, and really enjoy the engineering. But also being able to step back and look at things from a slightly bigger picture. I like talking to stakeholders, understanding what we’re trying to solve, what outcomes are really important, and helping the culture and confidence-building with my temporary colleagues on the client-side. Also, sharing a growth in skill and growth mindset is a really big thing for me. Watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/DdRvXzks9rk
This week we continued our Made Tech team interview series with our Principal Technologist Matthew Leak to better understand his role and to feature the great work he has been doing! Q: How do you find working in the public sector? A: I love it. The majority of the work we're doing now is focused on is digital transformation. So taking stuff that isn't cool, fun or exciting and bringing it into the modern world using new technologies which are better and more sustainable. Q: What do you like most about being a Principal Technologist? A: I think for me taking companies on that journey of transformation is hugely rewarding. When you do the retrospective at the end of the project and you get to see how far you've brought this organisation on that journey of change and the benefits that they're then going to reap as a result, that is probably the most rewarding thing for me.
