Examples of what you might work on
Integrations: connectivity between our platform and the ERPs, warehouses and banks we connect to
Identity and access: bringing one coherent multi-tenancy model across our applications
Reducing complexity: spotting where the estate can be simplified as we grow
Core backend services: fee calculations and accruals, pricing across currencies and jurisdictions, tracking physical stock around the world
New infrastructure: standing up what the business needs, often at short notice
What we’re looking for
Essential
A record of driving substantial work from problem to production on your own initiative
Real enthusiasm for getting into unfamiliar problems and working them out
Production AWS experience, including when it goes wrong
