Infusion leverages the latest technologies to drive real change for our customers.

As a consulting company, our customers engage us to solve their hardest problems. Quite simply your role is to drive project success and in the process to make our clients love us.

Team Leads are the cornerstone of these projects. They guide the development team day to day, set the vision the team marches towards, and get elbows deep in the tough coding problems. They are the glue that holds things together – the Team Lead understands more than anyone what the client reallywants and keeps the project true to that objective; they’re a clear source of reliable guidance for the Project Manager, a technical partner for the Architect, and a mentor, guide and motivator for the developers. It’s not an easy job – but easy isn’t fun, and the thrill of seeing your team’s work come to life is your reward. You’ve been down this path before and understand the pitfalls and challenges that lie ahead; you’re keen to test out your lessons learned from your last project and make this one even better….
