Skills & Requirements

Who you are

You like to work in a highly collaborative environment and enjoy learning and solving customer problems together with your fellow team members. You are not afraid of asking the ”Why” we are solving a need before thinking of the how.

You have several years of experience working in backend and you have experience in working in microservice or serverless architecture. You need to be able to work independently and solve problems on your own, while still sharing progress, solutions, ideas, and problems with others so the full team is aware of and agreeing on direction.

You are passionate about customer and business needs and one of your drivers is to deliver value quickly to continuously iterate on even better and fuller solutions. You typically come from a background where you are used to working with SaaS products using microservices at scale in a Cloud-First environment, having experience in modern Agile Product Development environments.

Pair programming or mob/ensemble programming is within your preferred toolbox.
