They take a cloud-native approach to development and infrastructure, allowing room for experimentation and improvement. They pride themselves on fostering a culture of quality and openness within the team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement Python web services in Django and Flask.
• Maintain and extend existing Python web services based on new feature requirements and business needs.
