Responsibilities
In a large tech department, divided in smaller teams, you'll be in charge of developing new features, as well as refactoring existing projects. You need to be able to write clean and scalable code. You'll need to be able to participate in brainstorming sessions and to bring your opinion and experience to the table.

Requirements
Very strong Object Oriented Programming and design pattern skills. Experience working with backend languages i.e., Java, C#, Python, Golang. Strong analytical and problem solving skills. Very comfortable working with MySQL / DynamoDB, REST web services, Git / Github.

Property Finder Principles
Move fast and make things happen. Data beats opinions. Don't confuse motion with progress. Failure is success if we learn from it. People over pixels.
