We are Cybist, an established UK technology business with more than 30 years of industry experience. We are beginning development of a completely new internal AI-powered business system called Phoenix. This is a genuine greenfield project with no existing application or inherited codebase, and we will work directly with our Managing Director to turn real operational and commercial requirements into working software with immediate feedback and rapid decision-making. The project is a standalone, paid, two-week development engagement based in Northampton, with in-person attendance preferred at the outset and the possibility of some hybrid working thereafter. Phoenix will sit within our wider business systems environment, which includes Amazon Seller Central, Linnworks ERP, Shopify, Xero and eBay. We offer casual dress, employee discount, free parking and on-site parking.
