About Rush Digital
Ok, so we just love design and tech and we ain’t afraid to show it.
RUSH Digital aims to be the best design/tech studio in the solar system. Join our growing team of 70+ (plus you), fun-loving, hard-working, results-driven, stone-cold-awesome designers, producers, engineers, tinkerers and thinker-er-s.
Use your skills to work on projects that include (but sure as heck, are not limited to): cloud, machine learning, deep learning, hardware, 3D printing, natural language processing, computer vision, mobile front-end, AR, VR, interactive 3D… Really, the list goes on.
Overheard in the office, on real projects:
“We can just use this convolutional neural network approach and remove the depth sensor.” - Engineering Team
“That’s a solution looking for a problem.” - Design Team
“There is no ‘I’ in team, no really there isn’t.” - Production Team
FEEL THE RUSH

Judgement: Digital product teams are empowered to make strong data-driven decisions, but as a successful Product Analyst you’ll also know when it is important to seek support or other viewpoints.
Drive: You’ll be working with and facilitating sessions with a team of bright, energetic specialists. The right person will have plenty of drive to keep the team moving smoothly, looking ahead to remove/resolve any potential obstacles/dependencies in good time.
Influence: Some problems are best solved with others. By involving others in problem solving, we often bring people together. The successful candidate will be able to spot potential barriers to success, and have experience in using soft skills to break these barriers down.
