About you

We are very fortunate to have an engineering team of highly talented and skilled individuals.

The role requires you to:

• Actively participate in technical design discussions
• Develop robust packages and APIs that contribute to our ever-growing platform

We operate in a fast-growing environment; our engineers are delivery-focussed, whilst maintaining high quality standards, through iteration. An ideal-fit candidate will have worked for a revenue-generating tech start-up before, though that is not essential.
