YOUR LIFE AS A DEVELOPER, PLATFORM ENGINEER OR SECURITY ENGINEER
You will work with a team of Product Owners, Service Owners, Architects and other specialists to develop, improve and craft new products and services
Depending on your interest, you will focus in one of these areas:
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
