the same.

- Knowledge of TDD, SOLID and DDD architectures
- Experience with agile workflows and Git
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly explain complex technical issues to all level team members

Relevant Experience For The Role

What’s In It For You
- You will be a part of our growing international
Berlin team of 55 people (over 27 different languages are spoken at the
office and we don’t plan to stop there)
- You get to work in a
dynamic environment with insanely talented people where new features in
large scale products are being shipped regularly
- You will grow
your career and competencies working in an environment where learning is
paramount and not restricted by budgets or reporting
