Job Description
Who you are
You are a detail-oriented engineer with a strong commitment to quality — you believe in delivering work that meets the highest standards and are not satisfied until the job is done right. You thrive in environments where you can take ownership and drive projects forward, ensuring that every deployment is optimized for success.
You have experience working directly with customers, understanding their unique needs, and translating those into technical solutions. Your ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders sets you apart, allowing you to bridge the gap between engineering and user experience.
You are adaptable and enjoy wearing many hats — whether it's building integrations, debugging complex issues, or optimizing deployment pipelines, you approach each task with enthusiasm and a problem-solving mindset. Your proactive nature means you are always looking for ways to improve processes and enhance user satisfaction.
You are excited about the opportunity to help shape the future of Reducto as a founding member of the team. You understand the importance of building a strong foundation for the organization and are eager to contribute to its growth and success.

You will optimize deployment pipelines to ensure that our solutions can be delivered quickly and reliably. This may involve collaborating with various teams to streamline processes and enhance the overall efficiency of our operations.
In addition to technical responsibilities, you will play a key role in shaping the culture and practices of the engineering team. Your insights and experiences will help guide the development of best practices and standards as the organization grows.
