Full Stack Engineer

• Coding (this is a very hands-on role) our web application – frontend, backend and infrastructure

• Setting the foundations for our engineering practices in line with our broader operating model to attract and retain the best engineering talent in Europe

• Frontend: React and Next.js
• Backend: Node.js w/Typescript, Nest.js, PostgreSQL
• Infra: AWS
