  • Review and comment pull requests and code changes
  • Collaborate on the technical design of significant features

3. Build the necessary services to serve the product ⚙️

  • Automate their deployments via our CI/CD systems
  • Integrate these services into the existing environment

4. Pursue quality 🔍

  • Improve and extend the QA processes


That's just right for me. What do I need to bring?

Copy that. And what’s in it for me?
 

You will be joining an exciting young business that wants to change the world. With a proven track record in starting companies, we’re hitting the ground running and aim to have an impact fast. Joining this journey allows you to grow with us, own your role, and really help shape our path.
