and experience with:

• monitoring the health of your applications in production,

This is a hybrid role. Our offices are in Shoreditch, London. Currently we are spending three days a week collaborating and socialising with our colleagues in our Shoreditch office. When we’re in the office, a light breakfast and lunch are provided, and a weekly massage. There’s a bike rack and a shower too. Shoreditch is a lively area of London - we often go out after work in one of the many bars or restaurants in the area.
