Which team is this in

This role will be focussed on supporting the Ignite Platform, more specifically the App/Native side of the experience. For a little bit more context, the Ignite Platform is positioned to be the tool of choice for all customers that utilise REA to support their business. Ignite is available to our customers across both web and apps which is underpinned by a backend that integrates with many core systems across our business.

The App Team is a native platform team that are empowered to build out the core native capabilities required for the Ignite App, whilst also supporting many other lines of business to federate into the native platform. They build, own and operate both the iOS and Android Ignite App experiences.

The team operates under a federated model supporting multiple lines of business (LOB) to enable and deliver upon our key customer strategy. This means the team get to work, learn, share challenges, and celebrate success alongside many people and teams across all parts of the organisations.

Although the team is a platform team at heart, and key to enabling other teams to deliver great experiences, we also get heavily involved with our own feature development that further enhanced the ever-growing Ignite Native platforms.
