Own your code in production, fixing critical incidents and defects.
Contribute to a culture of engineering excellence through peer reviews, testing your code, and championing our coding standards.
Think about the future of our codebase by creating proposals for our team.
Improve how we work through continuously retrospecting and iterating.
About you:
Based in Europe.
5+ years of experience in Software Engineering.
Know how to build distributed microservice applications.
Build secure, well-tested, observable code.
Enjoy taking ownership of ideas from conception through to production.
Experience working with Go and PostgreSQL.
