• Engage in wider engineering discussions, sharing feedback and ideas that enhance our developer experience

Skills and Experience

• Experience with a mixture of both frontend and backend technologies, such as React, TypeScript and GraphQL, NodeJS, with a leaning towards backend
• A willingness to learn and expand your technical skills in other parts of our stack (AWS, Golang, Python)

• Embrace product mindset as a Platform Foundations Engineer: you are eager to learn about the needs of your user (Engineers) and adept at finding solutions for them
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity (we’re a startup after all) - you remain open-minded despite uncertainty and view change as an exciting opportunity to learn and grow
