About Us

Location Technology Lead

At Hyper, we are revolutionising how people experience the real world. Based in the heart of London, our cutting-edge indoor location technology is setting new standards in accuracy and scalability. We’ve successfully deployed our solution in IKEA stores across Europe, outperforming traditional methods like Bluetooth beacons with a blend of Augmented Reality/SLAM sensors and WiFi. Our innovative approach delivers five times the accuracy of existing solutions, providing a seamless and scalable user experience. This is indoor location that actually works. Only UK based applications will be accepted, as this is a role that requires close collaboration and in person meetings with the UK wider team.

Our Vision

We aim to build the infrastructure that powers real-world interactions in retail and beyond, transforming commercial spaces with precise and reliable location technology.

Culture

Our team of 15-20 passionate product experts thrives in a collaborative and empowering environment. We encourage our members to explore and take ownership of initiatives that ignite their interest. Weekly collaborative sessions and real-world testing of new features keep us dynamic and innovative. We meet one to two times a week in London as a team to align, prioritise, celebrate and drive projects forward!
