Who are you?

You consider yourself a Java developer, but your real skill is learning – you quickly and enthusiastically pick up new technologies, libraries, tools, techniques, and domains knowledge in order deliver the right solution. Other key technologies we work with include JavaScript, Python, AWS and Docker, so experience with any of those will be advantageous. We hope you’ll be working with us for years to come and we don’t know where the business requirements will take us, so you need to be prepared to get out of your comfort zone and learn new things.

You know there’s a big difference between code that just-about-works versus “clean” code that’s well-structured and maintainable – and you want to deliver the latter. You love the confidence you get from a thorough test suite and build pipeline.

You’re comfortable discussing requirements with the product management team, throwing your own ideas into the mix and constructively engaging to iterate on requirements and deliver the maximum value for the effort expended.

You like working in an Agile development environment and take responsibility for getting things done as part of a team. You want to be the best you can be and embrace the chance to learn and adapt.
