You will lead technical discussions with teammates to identify gaps in our platform and influence roadmap by setting direction and recommending solutions. You will collaborate with other full-stack teams to make design decisions and understand downstream implications in our product. Given the ownership area of the team, which includes the design and implementation of the core object models powering our platform, this role is backend-leaning but will involve both web and mobile development.This is a remote position open to candidates in the UK and Poland. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.You should apply if:
