There’s never been a more exciting time to join one of the fastest-growing SaaS unicorns, so let’s see if we could be a match!

  • Experience working with MySQL/PostgreSQL, including query optimization and database design.

  • Strong understanding of version control systems, particularly Git.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, or cloud-based deployments.
  • Experience with unit testing and test-driven development
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently or collaboratively in a team.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and working in a fast-paced environment.
