  • Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (or equivalent experience)
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions
  • APIs: GraphQL
  • Infrastructure: Terraform

What They're Looking For

They're open-minded on background and value engineers who bring a strong core skillset alongside curiosity and a willingness to learn.

  • Strong experience writing production-grade Python
  • Experience working with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
  • Interest in distributed systems and scalable architectures
  • Exposure to Golang, or motivation to learn it on the job
  • Comfort operating in high-availability, production environments
  • A collaborative mindset and clear communication skills

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Dedicated learning and development budget
  • Regular learning days and technical knowledge-sharing
  • Optional international engineering events
  • Supportive culture that values ownership, quality, and continuous improvement
