Please share a project at Knightec Group where the team's work had a significant industry or community impact.

One memorable project involved developing a system to help elderly individuals stay in their homes longer. This included hardware and software components, and I tested various technologies, including machine learning, for identifying movement patterns. Another impactful project was building a mobile phone switchboard for a client, which hundreds of thousands of users use. This large-scale project quickly revealed any issues in production, providing valuable problem-solving experience.

"I'm currently involved in several projects aimed at societal benefit, focusing on building data platforms in cloud solutions to leverage real-time data. These experiences reflect Knightec Group's commitment to innovation and impactful work."

How has Knightec Group supported your professional growth, and what learning opportunities and mentorship programs are available for new joiners?

Knightec Group has significantly supported my professional development. In my first five years, I transitioned roles almost yearly, from a software tester to a test lead, and now, I work as a Scrum Master and team manager. I've gained experience in both manual and automated testing and learned a lot from skilled developers.

"Knightec Group is like a big toolbox; it's up to everyone to utilize it. The talented and supportive colleagues are always willing to help, which is reassuring."

Knightec Group fosters collaboration, continuous learning, and a strong focus on community and client needs, encouraging teams to push technological boundaries and deliver exceptional solutions. We mix experienced and less experienced individuals, fostering a mentoring environment. Each person has a career plan and takes steps towards their desired direction.

What aspects of Knightec Group's culture make it stand out as an employer, and how are these values upheld?

Our engineering culture (being curious, working together, and sharing knowledge) is crucial for job satisfaction and employee retention. Another key aspect is encouragement and support for personal growth. Nothing is holding you back if you want to advance, as long as it's within the company's scope. I've always felt supported by managers and senior colleagues.

"Another standout feature is the atmosphere at the office. My colleagues and I genuinely enjoy being at work, creating a strong sense of community."

We foster involvement and teamwork, ensuring employees feel valued and supported. These values are upheld through continuous support from leadership, opportunities for advancement, and a lively, inclusive office environment.
