• Proven background in senior technical leadership, including hands-on involvement in developing digital products, designing service architectures, and working iteratively in agile environments.
• Strong commitment to team development, with experience conducting performance reviews, setting growth paths, and fostering a culture of feedback and improvement.
• Technically adept and detail-oriented, with bonus familiarity in PHP/Java, DevOps tooling, Infrastructure-as-Code, Apache Kafka, and message-driven microservices.

What’s in it for you

• Hybrid-working model with 25-Work From Anywhere days*
• Competitive total compensation package including participation in our stock option plan
• Market-leading benefits programs shaped by our Time & Flexibility policies*
• Company-wide and team events — both in-person and virtually!
