Key responsibilities (title) Who you are
Key responsibilities (text) You’re a seasoned engineer with a passion for building smart, automatically tested, and well-functioning systems. You want to grow yourself and
help others to grow, you are not afraid to ask nor to share, you want to do the right thing! You know your best practices, microservice architecture,
testing, automation, and cloud development, and the tools that come with it. Perfect code doesn’t exist, but you still chase it, without giving up on
delivering value. Our landscape is huge, there are many domains and subdomains you will work with, so you need to understand how to reach out
to people and reach consent – all whilst knowing that perfect is the enemy of good. You always have a big backlog, but you have a good
understanding of what adds value now and what can wait, and you can explain your thoughts to others.
