Responsabilities:

• Define/create/implement standards and drive implementation of resilient design
• Understand what happens if a downstream service fails. How is our upstream response handled? What is the customer experience (impact)?
• Define/create/implement fallback mechanisms/circuit breakers, understand if its appropriate to create one at all. Define/create logic for aforementioned circuit breakers (experience shows todays implementations may have a negative impact)
• How do we tackle E2E resilience on a customer journey?
• Define/create/implement timeouts settings E2E (these have caused negative outcomes in the past)
• Participate in complex operational issues E2E, identifying root causes and architectural solutions (or other improvements) to avoid re-occurrence
• Work closely with architecture team and Tech Leads in early stages of SDLC.

Requirements:

• An environment where services can be built in mobile, web, integration or backend technologies, Google Cloud based and Apigee exposure. Some of the technologies involved are: Angular | Strapi CMS | Squid Proxy | PingFederate | Kotlin and Swift | Apigee | GCP.
• Availability to travel is important, the project requires trips to the UK (once every two months).
• Ability to adapt to different contexts, teams and Clients.
• Teamwork skills but also sense of autonomy.
• Motivation for international projects and ok if travel is included.
• Willingness to collaborate with other players.

Are you looking for an environment that values curiosity and commitment? Here, your contribution has real impact and individual growth is taken seriously.

Find with us the right opportunity to grow!

What you can expect from us:

• Long-term projects with national and international context (if applicable)
• Opportunities to grow technically and professionally
• A people-first culture, focused on transparency and trust
• Teams that value ownership, collaboration and stability.
