About the role
- Design, implement and maintain features in our microservices in a hybrid cloud environment.

- Increase the maintainability, reliability, and robustness of our software.
- Continuously improve and automate our development processes.
- Contribute to our backend developer community and share knowledge within and across teams.
- Take total ownership of the work you deliver, from testing and QA to post-deployment monitoring and incident resolution.
- Participate in our on-call rotation: You’ll ensure the reliability and availability of our services by being available to join the team's shared on-call rotation as needed.
Requirements
- Proficiency in a modern programming language with solid experience in backend development. Exposure to or familiarity with our tech stack (C#, .NET Core, gRPC) or similar technologies would be beneficial but is not a strict requirement. What's more important is your willingness and ability to learn new technologies quickly.
- Experience in building and maintaining business-critical applications.
- Solid understanding of algorithmic complexity and common data structures.
- Effective and pragmatic: you can weigh between "perfect" and "good enough" depending on priorities and business impact.
- The ability to explain complex ideas and designs to developers and stakeholders with a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds.
- Product mindset: you develop solutions with the customer in mind and iteratively improve your solutions based on data and feedback. You understand how to experiment and track usage for learning.
- You are a role model for continuous delivery. You build incrementally in small batches, practice trunk-based development, and pair-program by default to maintain throughput and team cohesion.
- Comfortable with a hybrid working model and able to come into our London office regularly (2x per week average).
- Fluent in English.

With flexible working hours and trust in your productivity, we are in sync with your team’s general locations and time zones to foster effective and seamless collaboration
- Monthly full-day hacking sessions: every month, we have Hack Fridays, where you can spend your time diving into a project you're passionate about and get the opportunity to work with other teams–we value your initiatives, impact, and creativity
- 30 days of annual leave: we value your peace of mind. With 30 days off (excluding public holidays) and access to mental health resources, we make sure you're as strong mentally as you are professionally
