* Solid understanding of backend development principles
* Experience working in a team-based development environment
Nice to Have (Not Required)
Experience with any of the following is a big plus:

* Erlang
No boxes to tick. Curiosity counts.
Why Apply?
* Hybrid working (Cheltenham-based)

* Modern tech stack and engineering-first mindset
* Real influence over how things are built
* Supportive team that values quality over chaos
