You will need to be available during UK office hours, at least until 3:00 PM GMT.

Your projects:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
