You will be part of a Product or Technical squad, where the squad is responsible for building, delivering and maintaining fantastic software.

Your new development will be done within a Microservices architecture, but you will also be contributing to our legacy systems while we are in the transition period.
Outside of squad work you will be part of the Back End Chapter. We hold Chapter meetings to talk about tech and ways of working. We work democratically to evolve our stack and make constant improvements.
