Technical:

How you work:

You ship. You're delivery-focused — you iterate, you improve, you get things into production

You own it. When you build something, you take responsibility for its behaviour in production. You respond to incidents (15-minute acknowledgement SLA during working hours), investigate issues, and close the loop

You write things down. Documentation is not an afterthought — it's how we scale knowledge across a distributed team. If it's not written down, it doesn't exist

You communicate. We're a distributed team across multiple time zones. Clear, proactive communication — especially when things go wrong — is essential

You care about quality. You write clean, testable code. You review your peers' work thoughtfully. You push for continuous improvement without gold-plating

You embrace AI tooling. We use AI tools (Claude, Gemini) to amplify our engineering capability — from code review and debugging to incident investigation and documentation. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be curious and willing to learn
