About the job: technical

In software development we value:

Next developer happiness

• We care for a reliable test base. If the tests pass, there’s a high chance it will work on production
• Our code is self-explanatory
• We keep README concise, up-to-date and informative
• We commit to `main` at least once a day

Visibility in Communication

• We don’t rely on esoteric communication channels like offline, meetings or Slack.
• Each important information is moved to proper long-living place – documentation, Pull Request, code, knowledge base
• We over communicate our progress. No micromanagement is needed.

Client’s perspective

• We don’t play with the client’s budget. When considering new technologies, we take the risk into account.
• We solve problems. Client tells us what’s his and we will solve it time-efficiently. 
• We don’t just move issues from one column to another. We make sure that the problem is solved. 
• We proactively suggest best solutions and alternatives

Next actions

• In discussions and meetings, we aim for action points: Who does what and when.
• We constantly ask ourselves: what’s important now?
• We focus on fixing instead of blaming

About the job: non-technical

The hierarchy in our organization is flat. That means we do things “bottom-up”- there’s no need to go through layers of management to solve a simple issue.

Depending on the project, your team contains iOS developers, Android developers, a QA engineer, a designer, and a scrum master. Usually, a team sits in one room (there’s no open space!), which makes for excellent cooperation, though right now we’re working remotely (you can still work from the office if you like). We work in Scrum with 1-2 week sprints (depending on the project), but we use it as a framework, not a process, meaning we adjust it to fit a project’s needs. As developers, we try not to do Agile, but be agile. We keep our product backlogs in Jira and our documentation in Confluence. We also use Google Suite, Trello and Slack.

We have weekly Web Team meetings where we discuss both the technical and non-technical. If you wish to attend Android, Flutter or iOS Team meetings instead, you are free to do so. Occasionally we also do joint meetings if we want to discuss general development topics.
