Responsibilities

Master your toolkit. Work across diverse tech stacks, choosing the right tools for every challenge—from monolithic to microservices architectures, gRPC to REST APIs, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—showing expertise through purpose, not trends.

Drive. Exhibit ambition, initiative, effort, and tenacity; hold yourself to a high, rising bar.
Team spirit. Give generously, support the best idea, work hands‑on to help teammates, and maintain reliability, honesty, and transparency.
Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak proficiently.

What we offer

Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams with bright people.
