A skilled collaborator looking to stay at the top of their game

To thrive in this position, you’ll need:

• Broad knowledge in building digital software products and their associated architectures
• Previous experience in hands-on coding with concrete results and working with Cloud technologies. We’re not looking for a specific amount of experience, but we’ve found out that it usually takes 8+ years of working in the field to reach the expected level.
• A curious mind that is open to change – we want to continue learning all the time, and you should know your stuff and understand what you don’t know.
• Fluency in English and good communication skills (written & spoken)

• An opportunity to grow as a professional. We offer +35 internal training events on average every month, +15 community events and several 15-minute coffee breaks to discuss hot topics in tech and design.
