Requirements
-
Passionate about doing software engineering right: keeping code simple, readable, tested and secure. You can effectively manage accidental complexity, tech debt and the relevant conversations. You are not a hype-driven leader but rather pragmatic and grounded. We welcome all technical backgrounds, but we use .NET and Angular technologies and platforms.
-
Keen to optimize team processes and interactions in order to achieve the maximum amount of focus time and flow of work. We are not set on any specific way of working, you and your team will self-organise and keep improving.
-
Intent on backing all of your team and individual decisions with data as well as documenting them in a readable and discoverable format.
-
Willing to take initiative when things go wrong, leading incident resolution, helping future mitigation and making sure learnings are absorbed by all.
-
Happy to have an interruption driven workday, as many people will need your attention and input at random times.
-
Delighted to see people grow through your mentorship and guidance, professionally but also personally.
