Craftsmanship
Everyday we learn something. It's great when you can not only learn but use that knowledge to build great stuff and grow yourself. We are big fans of excellence and technical craftsmanship. No excuses to avoid CI, tests, QA, best practices. It's true that shipping is the most important thing, but in the end, it's your name on it, let's make it right way. -
Stable and Flexible Environment to Grow
As practice shows, small teams are best to achieve best results and we are big fans of that approach. It's easier to agree on holidays, specific time to work, plan your time to take children from school. It's easier to agree on technical solutions and easier to communicate. With all that and bunch of extra smaller things like private healthcare, trainings, flexible working hours, fully remote or office options, employment of B2B type of work, lawyer/accountant help we are creating stable and safe environment for you to grow not only on a technical level, but also as a person. -

We trust you. All teams have the autonomy to pick best solutions, best software, best approach for problem solving. No crazy managers to tell you that mongodb is a must or everybody must work in vim. We want you to support you on the road to technical excellence and avoid artificial blockers. All structures are as flat as possible and all decision making is as close to the core as possible. I hope you enjoy this a lot.
