We carry with pleasure the great responsibility of leading teams in developing and operating platforms and services. The biggest part of our job is making decisions based on past experience and/or quick experimentation of new possibilities while supporting the team on their daily technical activities. We ensure we understand the requirements and the reason for which something is being done and we look at implementing resilient, scalable, secure, operable, reusable and flexible systems to support those use cases. Our approach is to make deliverables iteratively and quickly available. While we're very loyal to our technical principles we know when compromises make sense. We enjoy great autonomy in our role while ensuring we're aligned with our peers, the Truphone's Platform Architecture and the Technology Governance. We also participate in recruitment activities and publish engineering blog posts that could interest other engineering fellows from Truphone and across the globe.
