You will have sufficient experience in our core technologies and exemplify systems thinking, considering how actions today affect the bigger picture.
You’ll get to work on a fresh codebase, as well as supporting our existing platforms (Banqer Primary, Banqer High Junior, and Banqer Senior). Utilising the full stack (Rails + Angular), as a senior you will be able to hit the ground running delivering your work.
