The platform is built with modern but proven technologies such as kubernetes, AWS, Flink and CI/CD.

You will work within a Scrum team where you in close cooperation with your colleagues will be responsible for taking the ideas and concepts all the way from the drawing board to running and maintaining it in our backend. The team consist of one Scrum master, one Product Owner and four Developers - a great mix of competencies and experiences!
