We're looking for people who are natural initiative-takers who bring out the best in others, are brilliant listeners and can help us grow our business without compromising standards, integrity, or culture.

• An understanding of the fundamentals of software development in Java, TypeScript, JavaScript and/or Python, along with good overall engineering patterns and practices and be able to explain these clearly.
