Responsibilities

• Master your toolkit. Work across diverse tech stacks to choose the right tools for each challenge. From monolithic to microservices architectures, gRPC to REST APIs, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—select tools by purpose to unleash their potential.
• Build stuff that matters. Regardless of seniority, enjoy autonomy and take ownership from ideation to execution. Build software from the ground up and see how your code becomes a product used at scale.
• Simplify relentlessly. Turn complexity into simplicity by evaluating necessity and processes, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, writing maintainable code, and crafting minimalist architectures for scalable solutions.

• Drive. Ambitious, responsible, and committed to high standards with rising expectations.

• Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak proficient English.
