As a Python/GO Engineer, you'll be part of a small team - which works to their advantage - responsible for managing a global network plus multiple hundreds of servers across almost 50 sites.

Benefits

• Significant compensation package - you are making a direct impact on the PnL
• Collaborative and friendly environment with highly engaged colleagues
• Free onsite gym, sauna and fitness classes
• Breakfast and lunch provided four days a week
