• As a leader in our Engineering Community of Practice, you will play a pivotal role in our adoption of modern engineering practices - TDD, real continuous delivery, SRE culture, API-first design to enable externally available dev APIs - and master the art of refactoring to gradually introduce them without stop-the-world year-long migrations
• As a mentor you will upskill less senior engineers by writing quality code yourself, leading our weekly learning sessions, conduct quality code reviews, encourage best practices by automatic trivial controls

What You Bring:

• 8+ years of backend software development experience
• Strong professional experience with Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks)
• Strong professional experience with Java, preferably using Spring Boot
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs
