About the Team
We are firm believers in over-communicating. We are fully remote, and over-communication is one of our core principles. This means asking any question you may have, no matter how small it is; speaking up when you have concerns, ideas or feedback and documenting technical information. We are also firm believers in convention over configuration. We try to keep our stacks as similar as possible across our projects. You should be able to ramp up on any new project very quickly as a result, and we are always open to improving this process. All of this means that our development life cycle is predictable and efficient, but we are always aware that we can improve. We are always open to new solutions, processes and technologies as long as they help us achieve our goals efficiently. If you are passionate about ensuring software quality through effective automated testing and possess the required skills, we invite you to join our dynamic team. Apply now to contribute to the success of our cutting-edge software solutions.
