About the team

From the very beginning, we created a modern, cloud-native tech platform (based on Google Cloud) adhering to the industry’s highest standards in terms of development and operation processes. Our front-end is written in Typescript with React and our back-end in Go, in the form of loosely coupled docker-containerized microservices, well decoupled via RESTful APIs and pub‑sub queues, and isolated behind different API gateways. Those containers are orchestrated using Kubernetes, instrumented with Datadog. Our CI / CD pipelines are automated using Google Cloud Build and Codefresh and our infrastructure is managed using Pulumi.

Several major tech projects are progressing in parallel at a high delivery pace. Structured by squads, the tech teams are working on different products and nesto experiences based on strong algorithms and AI to meet business objectives.

As the Team Lead, you will lead and manage a team of software developers, ensuring efficient project execution, high-quality deliverables, and effective collaboration across cross-functional teams. You will provide mentorship, remove roadblocks, and drive the team’s focus on impactful projects while promoting a culture of continuous improvement and employee growth.
