• Being able to mentor, coach, and train other colleagues as a domain expert

Required skills and experience:

• "Product Engineering" mindset
• Pragmatism and obsession for simplicity, efficiency, and performance
• Extensive experience in similar roles building technically complex products in any web programming language
• An expert level at server-side, client-side or full stack development. Your final role within the team will depend on your skills and internal training will be provided
• Obsession for quality and testing
• Eager to learn new technologies and frameworks
• Strong communication skills

Bonus points for:
