Application Process

To apply, please submit your resume, a cover letter detailing your relevant experience and alignment with Fiet's mission, and any supporting evidence (e.g., code samples, project portfolios, or references) that demonstrate your capability to excel in this role. Applications will be rigorously evaluated, and only candidates who can provide compelling evidence of their technical expertise and/or learning agility will be considered.

Please note that we are accepting applications; however, due to the highly specialised nature of this role, the acceptance rate is extremely low.
