- Be part of a team that takes full operational responsibility for the services it owns and potentially take part in an on-call rotation
- Share your knowledge and build creative solutions while helping the team evolve best practices
What we look for in you:

- Experience designing and building scalable products and services, taking strategic decisions and having a wide impact.
- Multiple experiences working with one or more general-purpose programming languages including Java and/or Kotlin.
