  • Enjoy a great level of end-to-end autonomy, owning system design, implementation approach and production operations of your services. We truly believe in the “Builders mindset”

  • You are a good communicator and are able to use English effectively at work
  • You can champion engineering innovation and best practices
  • You enjoy sharing your experience with other engineers and helping others to succeed

What our engineering team believe

Working in small, simple increments: we follow Gall's Law when building systems - start small and then gradually improve. We believe that working in small increments lets us deliver value to our customers as fast as possible. We want to minimize the work in progress and start less, finish more.

Building quality in: we prefer to prevent bugs, crashes and failures rather than fix them afterwards. We believe that fixing defects earlier enables us to deliver value quicker. When we increase technical debt, we do it only by a conscious and agreed choice.
Improving ourselves: we believe that improving daily work is as important as daily work itself.  We believe that by continuously learning and challenging ourselves, we can achieve better results quicker. We value transparency and feedback and are proud of the work that we do.

And in terms of compensation - typical range for this role is around 5500€-6500€ per month (gross) - of course, that depends on the individual level of skills and experience.
Sounds like it’s you we’re looking for? We can't wait to meet you! Please contact our team directly by applying via the "Apply for this job" button.
