* A strong focus on continuous integration and delivery;
* Strong focus in TDD;
* Building high-performance and scalable applications;
* Good understanding of the design and implementation of RESTful web services;

* Detail oriented
* Problem-solving skills that balance innovation with pragmatic technology choices to solve business needs
* Used to working in a team-oriented, collaborative environment
* Analytical and problem-solving oriented
* A genuine believer in diversity and fairness
* Legally able to live and work in Portugal
