ABOUT THE TEAM 

Team Kraken is part of the Office of the CTO at Beamery. The team works to accelerate delivery and innovation at Beamery by tackling complex projects at an early stage. As evangelists and thought leaders for technology, we also assess and evaluate cutting edge technologies, frameworks and ways of working. Work in Team Kraken is varied, so there is always something new and exciting to learn and understand. Recently we’ve built a server-side-rendered app to enable a phased rollout of self-serve reporting to customers, we’ve architected and demonstrated a migration pathway for identity management and we’ve iterated on the design and features of our internal-facing browser extension, the “Beamery Hub” to help our colleagues keep up to date.
