- Develop and test internal SaaS applications that provide essential data to our sales, finance, and customer success teams.
Who you are
You are a seasoned engineer who thrives in an environment that is both agile and interrupt-driven. You communicate fluently in English and are comfortable working in a fully remote capacity. Your technical background includes:
- Over 5 years of experience with SQL and complex schemas, alongside familiarity with NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Cassandra.
- Proficiency in debugging JavaScript, Python, or Go, with strong scripting skills in BASH or PowerShell.
- A solid understanding of IAM concepts, including multi-factor authentication, directory services, and SSO.
