  • Comprehensive grasp of CI/CD pipelines, observability, and security best practices.
  • Collaborative and communicative—adept at mentoring teammates, advocating for modern engineering practices, and thriving in cross-functional squads.
  • Motivated by the opportunity to build internal platforms that abstract complexity and enhance developer productivity at scale.

OUR OFFER:

  • A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world (Engineering offices in Europe, Asia and US) including various social events and teambuilding.
  • Ability to shape your own workday and career via a clearly defined professional and personal development plan.
