  • Collaborate in Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, estimation, stand-ups, and retrospectives.

  • Work independently while collaborating effectively with a distributed remote engineering team.

  • Ensure applications comply with security, privacy, and industry best practices.

  • Stay current with emerging technologies and recommend tools and frameworks that improve engineering efficiency and product quality.

  • Take ownership of features from initial design through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience with PHP and JavaScript.

  • 3+ years of experience building back-end microservices.

  • 2+ years of full-stack development experience.
