About You
You're the kind of person who takes accountability in a fast-paced, autonomous and flexible environment.

- 5+ years of industry experience (as an engineer) is required with a strong understanding of at least one JavaScript framework (React/jQuery) and one web framework (eg- PHP with Symfony/Laravel, Node.JS)
- Good understanding of modern development practices - SoA, CI/CD, unit/integration testing
- Experience in supporting always-on products
- Experience leading a team in an agile environment (Scrum/Kanban)
