• You have a drive for leading initiatives and features till the end, even if the last mile is the hardest.
• You feel at home with microservice architecture and you are experienced in API design.
• You have strong principles towards writing clean, simple, secure, and maintainable code.
• You have a deep understanding of how to write readable, testable, maintainable, and performant code.

Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying if you feel you’re the kind of person described above!
