Each of these teams is specialized in a certain area with the final goal of ensuring the design, development and maintenance of a content distribution platform & many more interesting projects that we have ongoing.

About The Role

The first thing you need to know is that, the team you’ll be working on cares about the work environment and growth opportunities as much as they do about the technical aspects. They guide themselves through the practices below:

• You will know ahead of time what are the features required, they will be discussed in the team and you will be able to take full ownership of your features & projects.

• Helping lead features/initiatives from idea to positive execution;

The Titan team is cross-functional and this comes with various learning opportunities that allow you to try different types of activities (mobile development, web front-ends, big-data processing pipelines and administrative tools), thus sharpening your technical skills.

• Languages: Java, Python, Groovy, JS, Typescript, PHP;

•    Decent understanding of Linux, software architecture and infrastructure concepts;
•    Experience with NoSql databases;
•    Ability to develop solution architecture designs and learn complex systems;
•    Willing for research and sharing the knowledge with the team;
•    Always eager to learn and keep a good ownership attitude;
•    Excellent problem solving skills and a proactive approach;
•    Always eager to learn new concepts, languages and frameworks which support our business products and not only.

Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying if you feel you’re the kind of person described above!
