We have an ambitious target to grow our customer base from :20,000 to over 100,000.

• Raise the bar for technical standards, performance, reliability, and operational excellence
• Mentor and coach othersto help them be the best they can be
• Care about agility as much you care for scalability and availability. Continuous deployment keeps us focused on incremental releases
• Take responsibility for platform health and observability, using our own data to understand user behaviour and drive product development

Skills We\’re Looking For

Core Skills

• A strong foundation in software engineering principles and deep knowledge of a high-level programming language. C# and Go are used heavily across our products

• Previous experience of being the primary technical leader in a team and collaborating with other teams and stakeholders
• A passion for promoting engineering excellence in those around you through coaching and guidance
• An understanding of different architectural and design patterns, and an appreciation of when to use them
• Experience shipping fast, reliable, real-time applications using modern development tools and practices

Nice to haves:

• Understanding of GitOps and experience with tools such as Argo CD
• Previous experience in integrating new services and tools, such as Salesforce, Segment, HubSpot, Stripe is beneficial
• Experience with SQL and data warehousing/pipelining tools such as BigQuery, Airflow, etc
