As a Backend Software Engineer III, you will build and run the services behind these sign-up and verification flows. You will join a small Stockholm-based team alongside a Senior full-stack Tech Lead and a full-stack engineer, as we grow a permanent team that takes full ownership of the product.

- Develop and deploy microservices on Kubernetes, using Docker and CI/CD pipelines.
- Contribute to the distributed systems that power customer sign-up and verification.
- Write clean, tested, maintainable code using sound design patterns.
- Take part in code reviews and pull requests, and help raise code quality across the team.
- Own the features you build from design through to production.
Follow a build-ship-run approach.
What We Are Looking For
