• In line with our 'You build it, you own it' philosophy, we expect you to take full ownership of the products you build, embracing both their development and ongoing maintenance.
• We look for developers who can build and run services. Therefore, you will be comfortable with containerising your code and adding monitoring and alerting to your services.
• Quality is important to us; we expect your code to be testable and well covered with unit and integration tests.
• We use CI/CD pipelines and IaC tools for the deployment of services and infrastructure. From time to time, you might need to contribute to it.
