What You Will Do

• Add features to our serverless API written in Python
• Build our customer-facing dashboard in React/TypeScript
• Make changes for bespoke customer requirements, ensuring other services to other customers remain unaffected
• Refactor applications written in Ruby on Rails
• Deploy to Kubernetes from GitLab CI
• Set up end-to-end integration tests to make sure making changes is worry free

• Enjoy complex projects and developing solutions with the end-user in mind
• Are willing to go beyond your role, your team and (sometimes) your comfort zone to make a cross-functional impact on the business

***Please note as much as this is a remote position, we are only able to consider candidates based in (or willing to relocate to) Switzerland, Finland, Poland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and the UK.***
