Focus on delivering a high-quality platform while enhancing the developer experience and maintaining a customer-centric approach.

Make informed decisions

Use strong judgment and good instincts to make decisions that benefit the platform and its users.

Back your suggestions with data and trade-offs and reach consensus with hard facts rather than persuasion.

Keep up with new technologies, imagine how we could leverage them, and be aware of critical security issues and one-way-door decisions.

Uphold excellence

As an individual contributor, strive for the highest quality in all your work.

Continuously raise the bar, ensuring that every product, service, and process meets rigorous standards.

Address issues at their root to prevent recurrence and maintain a culture of excellence.

Drive architectural transformation

Assist development teams in moving a core component, which underwent a lift-and-shift last year, from Windows/.NET/.NET Core to Linux/.NET Core/NodeJS.

Facilitate the transition from a monolithic architecture to cloud-native micro-services, driving significant improvements in scalability and performance.

Advance cloud migration

Contribute to the post-migration efforts to public cloud environments using tools such as Terraform and Ansible.

Ensure the infrastructure is robust, scalable, and aligned with best practices to support our strategic goals.

Standardise container management

Develop a consistent approach for building, deploying, and managing containers.

Ensure uniform practices across ECS/Fargate on AWS and its Azure equivalent.

Kubernetes skills are highly desirable.

Have 2+ years of experience building pipelines (GitLab) and/or monitoring production environments in the cloud.

Comfortable with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and development practices.

Solid understanding of network protocols, system architecture, and security practices, including cloud networking.

Value Quality

Care deeply about code security, quality, simplicity, and performance.

Language Proficiency
