You’ll be deeply involved in every stage of the software lifecycle. You will work closely with developers and testers to facilitate the smooth execution of the continuous integration (CI) process. You must be passionate about connecting software development to day-to-day operations and improving the quality of our products and services.

Your challenges

Help us improve continuously. If you have suggestions for improvement, we’d love to hear about them.
