  • Experience with Grafana stack or similar tools

  • Familiarity with agile development methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban

What we offer

  • Challenges that will help you grow and realise your potential really fast

  • Opportunity to make a big impact - you will contribute to developing cutting-edge services used by millions of investors to build wealth

  • Work with smart, spirited, helpful, high-performing colleagues toward a common goal
