You enjoy solving complex problems while contributing with new ideas and techniques, leading to continuous improvement for the team. You enjoy close collaboration to find better ways to deliver great quality software in a high-trust Engineering culture.

• Experience with AWS.

• Solid understanding of the development lifecycle from planning to testing and deployment.

• Responsible, team-oriented, and well-organized.

• Results driven. You don’t want to just write code, you want to ship code that is loved by customers.

• Excellent communication skills in English - both written and spoken.

Preferred:

• Experience with Django, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, FastAPI, Flask, SQLAlchemy.

• Experience with Micro Services architecture.

• Able to own well defined features from technical design through completion, and deliver on commitments.
