About the role

We're looking for an engineer with 2–5 years in software engineering, that posseses strong technical fundamentals. We want people who genuinely care about what they build, the customers who use it, and the team they work with.

Ownership isn't a buzzword here. If something is broken, you fix it. If there's a better way, you propose it. If there's a problem nobody owns, you pick it up.

We're not looking for heroes, politics, or big egos. We want engineers who are constructive, collaborative, and pleasant to work with – but also capable of speaking the uncomfortable truths, challenge poor decisions, or raise concerns that others would rather ignore. We need people with the judgement to know when that moment has arrived.
