O poziciji

Hi there!

‍

We are in search of a motivated and talented individual to join our team and start solving all sorts of problems on interesting international projects.

As a Tech Lead you will be working on architecture design, making technical decisions, selecting tools & libraries the team will use on the new projects, supporting the full-cycle product development in both, the front and back-end side, and much more.

On a personal note, we’re looking for a problem solver with a proactive ‘can do’ attitude, who is fluent in English, thrives in a team environment, and is always eager to learn something new. A person that likes to inspire, teach and share knowledge with others.
