• One quarter in, you will be effectively an active member of your squad and your teammates will fully count on you; you will have built meaningful relationships within the company and be comfortable discussing ideas, inside and outside of your squad's scope; ideally, you will have presented a topic you are fond of in one of our internal knowledge sharing sessions and/or demoed some work the team did during our weekly all-hands meeting

Typical day activities

• Team sessions (with your fellow engineers and PO) to check data and brainstorm ways to improve several services performance and design scalable solutions
• Solve open issues that affect component infrastructure reliability
• Propose and discuss with fellow engineers efficient solutions for components and architectural design.

Requirements: Who we're looking for

• You are used to work and think outside of the box, and not afraid to present unconventional ideas and solutions.
• You have at least 6 years experience in back-end development using a modern set up and tooling
• You have a great understanding of APIs, databases, data structures, queues, and all things back-end, with a strong passion for automation

• You have a sense of pragmatism, constantly finding the right balance between achieving technical excellence and delivering value to the end users
• You are flexible, curious, and data-guided in helping us decide what to work on next
• You engage with your team and all the engineering group actively, sharing knowledge and best practices in order to improve with them every day
• You have production experience working with AWS and you have taken care of CI / deployments / infrastructure in the past
