Our Engineering Approach 🚀
As an engineer, you will work as a collaborator. More senior members will coach and contribute, placing an emphasis on:
High quality output
Observability and monitoring
Automated testing in all environments, including production
Infrastructure as code and DevOps practices
Our roles are fully remote, within the following time zone (UTC -1 / UTC+3). Our engineers work remotely from locations such as UK, Europe and Africa.
What You'll Bring 🧠
We expect you to be comfortable working as part of a team which owns the entire software stack, including supporting infrastructure, throughout the entire software lifecycle - from inception through production to decommissioning under a DevOps culture. You'll value the constraints that continuous delivery places upon engineering processes and embrace testing and observability as first-order concerns in development.
