What’s it like working for us?
We focus on great culture. We want to end our work happy and start the next day happier. Mind you, this is harder than it sounds, but we try our best to not create problems other than technical ones, listen to our people’s needs, and sometimes just take a break if we must. A typical day at work can involve many things: working on a new feature the Product Manager has specified, investigating a new technology that is of interest to our customers, or fixing a problem reported by our QA team or customers. Our developers contribute code on a daily basis, which undergoes code reviews by peer programmers and then tested by the QA team.
We have several teams working on different products or areas of focus, with a size of 3 to 10 people, utilizing a healthy mix of experienced and junior devs. Our teams are mostly self-organizing, but most of them are using Scrum and are being led by a senior engineer. Our company is ISO 27001 amp; 9001 certified, so we have structure and processes, but without being bureaucratic. We are also proud to be one of the first companies to join the EU Cloud Code of Conduct.
Our technology stack is mostly based around PHP and MySQL and we make heavy use of AWS technologies. Some Javascript is also at play from time to time.
We are currently developing a new, robust RESTful API, based on the latest technologies and best practices. A new front-end client based on ReactJS and utilizing our custom Design System and components is also in the works.
