-   **Problem-Driven Development:** Understand customer and business problems deeply and translate them into effective, scalable technical solutions.
-   **Product Collaboration:** Work closely with Product Managers and Designers to shape features, challenge assumptions, and improve outcomes for users.

-   **Ownership & Execution:** Drive work independently from idea to production and deliver in fast-paced environments
-   **Product Awareness:** Understand user needs and business impact behind features
-   **Learning Agility:** Learn quickly, ask questions, and adapt to complex systems
-   **Pragmatic Mindset:** Make sensible decisions, prioritise effectively, and focus on delivering value over perfection
-   **Collaborative mindset:** While this is a backend-focused role, we value engineers who are happy to collaborate across the stack and support frontend topics when needed.

-   **Work in a truly international, collaborative environment:** With 40+ nationalities, English as our working language, and teams across Europe, collaboration and shared ownership are part of how we work every day.
-   **Grow with autonomy and trust:** We invest heavily in product, data, and people – giving you the space to take responsibility, contribute ideas, challenge others, and do your best work while helping shape how we scale.
