Our team is remote first and distributed across Europe. We are looking to expand it with a Senior Backend Engineer who is agile while keeping a focus on quality, and enjoys working in a remote environment with the possibility of mentoring more junior peers.

Quality is very important to us, so we strive to deliver incremental pieces of work that allow us to reduce time to market without sacrificing testing.
