A day in the life

• Each team is highly autonomous and owns its own services. You develop, you deploy, you wake up at night when your code breaks.
• Production code must be safeguarded by unit and integration tests, go through a gradual deployment process and be automatically monitored for business KPIs. Quality is king.
• Peer review through pull requests is our bread and butter.
• Use the right tool for the job. Don't blindly follow the latest fad, but always be on the lookout for what's out there.
• We have built a highly-scalable & highly-available set of micro services where all pieces must fit together to deliver top performance and correctness.

What you’ll bring

• BE/B.Tech in Computer Science/Information Technology.
• At least 5 years of experience Golang; as a plus: experience in Java.
• You have excellent knowledge of professional software engineering practices & best practices for the full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing at scale, and operations.
• You have great communication and interpersonal skills, and you love to collaborate with your team and share all the different knowledge you've accumulated with others.

More than snacks!

• Hybrid working: three days a week from the office and two from home
• Expand your toolbox with our mentorship program and internal learning tools
