About The Role

Comfortable planning and executing unit, integration and UAT tests, debugging complex issues and integrating systems via APIs and microservices, you embed agile best practices, collaborate seamlessly with suppliers and stakeholders. Above all, you share Karbon's commitment to inclusion, innovation and continuous improvement-and you're driven by using technology to make a positive difference in people's lives.
