• Work within agile sprint cycles, delivering quality software alongside designers, QA specialists, business analysts, and more.

• Supporting teammates in their work and provide feedback in a well-structured manner.

• Engage in multiple projects, possibly across different teams, to drive innovation and collaboration.

You will have a strong background in delivering high quality, reliable software solutions using modern software development techniques and working as part of a fully integrated team. We expect you to bring the following toolkit:
