- Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
- Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
- Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
- Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
- Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
- Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

- Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
- Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
What you get out of it
