We help 999 or 112 operators answer calls from the public and dispatch out nearby responders, enabling the right response when every second counts, and ultimately helping our customers save lives.
As our solution has grown into a leading offering for Fire & Police agencies, our customers now trust us to solve more of their problems. You will help us innovate across the Guardian portfolio by working under our senior product leads to refine our core call taking & dispatching offerings, while also getting the chance to carve your own path by leading development for an expansion product.

However, you’ll also have the opportunity to join us for frequent in person work & social events like post-work pints, Flight Club darts, or our annual all-hands in Prague.
