What you'll do:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

What you get out of it:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
