Who we are:

Wagonthread is a managed services provider with 220 employees, supporting more than 1,500 client organisations across India.

Day to day:

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
