• 5+ years of professional experience building backend systems in fast-paced environments
• Experience with fintech, highly regulated industries, or document processing is a plus

• 28 days of vacation, 2 company days, plus local public holidays
• A competitive compensation package

• Meet-and-Greet (Optional - 30 min) to meet a few members of your future cross-functional team.
