• Make an immediate impact on the product set, taking full ownership across the stack from frontend to backend, and right up to production DevOps (React, Go, Kubernetes, GCP).
• Explore an interesting, challenging domain, mastering the fundamentals of cyber security and the internet.
• Go beyond coding – collaborate with the team and our customers to influence product design and direction.
• Apply agile processes with an adaptable and non-dogmatic approach.
