You will work in a fast-paced environment while juggling several tasks and initiatives simultaneously, where innovation and green-field development would be a part of your daily role whilst supporting developers to use your components and collaborating with external teams to accomplish cross-team goals. You will be going outside your comfort zone by exploring new technologies that you may not have worked with and using fast-prototyping methods to deliver your result.


We make conscientious efforts to adopt new technologies so your work will revolve around .NET, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Camunda, Azure, DevOps Serve whilst exploring technologies for our future stack (e.g. Java or NodeJS). Our newest adoption to the tech stack is Hasura and our newest assessments are for the adoption of CloudEvents, Kafka and Camunda Cloud.
