Your vision and ambition will contribute to shaping our online technology and influence our future technical direction. You will take pride in the robust code you deliver with your team.
As a Senior Engineer you will be responsible for developing, deploying, and maintaining backend services that power our applications, with a strong exposure to microservices and MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless) architecture.
