You are familiar with micro services, event driven architecture, message queues and serverless functions. You know your way around a React Native mobile app, capable of debugging issues and contributing to features.

You value collaboration and see code reviews as a chance to learn and improve together. You are comfortable both giving and receiving constructive feedback in pull requests, and focusing on building better solutions as a team. You understand the importance of delivering value to our Members, not just shipping code. You will understand the “why” behind what you’re building, and collaborate closely with product and QA.
