About the role

Day to day

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
