The skills to exceed

We work in Agile and everyone in our team is a Developer, Tester, DevOps, and DBA. In other words, apart from developing, we set up and maintain our own infrastructure (AWS) while managing our databases and taking care of the testing.

• Skilled in Java 8+ using application frameworks such as Dropwizard or Spring Boot.
• Proficient at test automation, unit tests as well as integration tests.
• Know how to setup, manage, and use relational databases such as PostgreSQL.
• At ease with infrastructure as code, preferably using Terraform.
• Experienced in deploying containers to a Cloud environment.
• Comfortable with source code version controlled in Git.

The key traits to exceed

In an ideal world, we see you as:

• A great communicator with your peers within the team as well as with various internal and external stakeholders / partners.
• A team player who likes to pair and mob program and believes in developing great solutions by working closely together.
• A person on the hunt for gaining new domain knowledge and understanding challenges prior they are refined to concrete tasks.
• A groundbreaker with the drive to contribute in improving our way of working and tech stack by trying out new technologies.

Lastly, we all believe that having a life outside of work is a must have. While we love developing amazing stuff, we also love hanging out with our families, rowing, gardening, flying drones, playing arcade games etc. It's a key factor of our success and we make it possible by always supporting each other.
