• Promote Innovation and Collaboration: Work closely with colleagues, share what you learn openly, and continuously improve processes, tools, and team practices.
• The Tech Stack for this role includes Golang, MySQL, Docker images deployed on a Kubernetes cluster in our cloud infrastructure (GCS, AWS or Azure) and Github CI/CD.

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in a software engineering role.
• Passionate about software craftsmanship: Strong understanding of software development principles, Clean Code and Clean Architecture.
• Product thinking: Ability to translate business problems into precise requirements, specifications and ultimately into code.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: link your daily work to team and company goals, balance cost and benefit, deliver high-quality solutions efficiently.
• Ownership: take responsibility for your technical work, for the product we build and the team we shape.
• Team-oriented: proactively support team goals, close gaps.
• Abstraction and efficient communication: simplify complex systems, identify core concepts, communicate complex ideas to different stakeholders.

What you’ll get

• A modern, varied tech stack. Continuous learning as the platform scales.
