• Experience of using cloud services (e.g. AWS)

As a team , we love to…

• Expand our skills in building highly scalable solutions while influencing others and raising the bar on the overall level of excellence within the team.
• Work in an environment where elegant, clean, maintainable code is favoured over messy hacks.
