  • We consider the team as part of the main product. We are very focused in continuous improvement, always promoting good practices and quality.
  • We have an agile/lean mindset. We try to validate our assumptions, taking small steps and learning throughout the process.
  • We work very hard to avoid creating knowledge silos. Therefore, every team member always tries to expand their comfort zone as much as possible (i.e.: improving and expanding their skills via mentoring or training).
  • We believe DevOps is a culture, not a role.
  • We love simplicity, and we reflect this principle in our code, practices and product.
  • The system/platform is cloud native from day one. This lead us to complete automation, a very solid infrastructure and deep-rooted DevOps practices (i.e. continuous delivery, rolling deploys, microservices, autoscaling, etc).

We expect each developer to be confortable dealing with any kind of tasks (frontend, backend even infrastructure and operations). But right know we need to reinforce our frontend capabilities.

  • Frontend skills and experience developing web applications

Nice to have

  • Experience working on Start-Up, SaaS, cloud-based companies
  • Prototyping, UX experience, visual design

Experience isn't a big concern, though the more experience the better. The most important thing is you have development knowledge, a willingness to learn and an open mind (our system evolves fast). If you have more experience you'll have more freedom, if you have less we'll guide you.
