The team has a product-driven mindset and enjoys the challenge of scaling the business. Currently at 3 million users, the user base has tripled since 2020. As they scale, they aim to continually raise the bar in their engineering teams. This role suits someone with an appetite for solving problems and defining what "good" looks like. Vital experience includes event-driven systems design, microservices, and Azure—similar to the scale found in large consumer applications in retail or financial services.

If you would like to discuss the role and have the relevant experience and attitude, I would love to hear from you.

What we offer as benefits:

• Private health insurance (inpatient, outpatient, maternity, eye care, dental)
