The Product

Lumen is an intelligent, cloud-based platform designed to revolutionise building data-driven products. It makes it easy to connect data sources, deploy analytics written in a variety of languages, and then capture and visualise the results to create data products that drive decisions. 

Lumen’s intelligence means these products can be created in minutes rather than months, and without the requirements of a large data team. Lumen will containerize an analytic, provision resources on the cloud, deploy it, wrap security and encryption around its outputs, and then using its patented agent based technology, it will seek out the data within the platform needed to execute it. This allows small teams to build big products, without the costs or complexity associated with building data driven tools.

A growing company with global ambitions

A great benefits package and work environment with hybrid and flexible working

Lots of opportunity for progression as we grow

Our core values

We believe we can make a difference, globally

We are passionate to drive change for the better. Our approach is different. This is a strength and a challenge. We like a challenge.

We will always back ourselves to bring about positive change.

We embrace expectations

That’ll do, will not do. We aim higher and accept the pressure this brings.

We will always judge ourselves against the world’s best.

We work with purpose

We work hard to understand how we can add value. We enjoy solving big problems. But…

…we will always ask ‘why?’

We appreciate accountability

It brings clarity and ownership to our roles. It means we trust our teammates to deliver on commitments. We are dependent on each other. We are not in it for ourselves. We help each other to succeed. We respect each other.

We will not let each other down.

We are one team on one mission

And we are ridiculously ambitious. We will succeed together by working (and playing) ever more closely together. We intend to have fun along the way. We must talk more and share information better – this will forever be true and we all take responsibility.

Above all else, we will always look after each other, both professionally and personally.

We have a growth mindset

Both as a business and as a team. We are on a constant mission to improve. We are open and honest about mistakes and setbacks. We seek to learn from them. As individuals develop, so does our company. Better people make Bellrock Technology better.

We will always strive to be better.

We give back

We are grateful for the support we receive. In return, we use our time and resources to help our communities. Be it within our local region or global networks; professionally or socially; corporately or as individuals.

We will always support and engage in activities to improve our society.
