This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing innovator in a technically challenging and rewarding environment where teamwork drives success.

Requirements

• Passion for learning new technologies and building high-quality cloud applications.
• Strong proficiency in C# and modern object-oriented programming; experience with Python, Java, or C++ is a plus.

• Knowledge of modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, SVG, and JSON.
• Working knowledge of relational database architecture and SQL.

• Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to collaborate effectively within agile teams.
• Disciplined self-starter who can work independently or collaboratively.

Further, our back office support teams, including but not limited to Human Resources, are primarily English speaking.

Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking co-workers, managers, stakeholders and/or clients, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.
