Job Description

Write clean code, review pull requests and fix what breaks at a logistics software company in Worcester. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Join daily stand-ups and sprint planning

Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
Stable internet and a quiet workspace for remote days

Helpful, not essential
