- Refine our data model to prevent inconsistencies and loss
- Iterate on the architecture of our platform to efficiently share services across various squads
- Contribute to and improve our engineering standards, tooling, and processes
- Stay close to communities in your area, have a social presence, and contribute to make Sqreen a reference in software engineering and operational excellence
