  • Investigating customer issues when needed
  • Continuously Improving the CI&CD processes

  • Do you listen to user feedback and pay attention to the details that make great user experiences?
  • Are you interested in mindfulness, meditation, behavior change, and/or neuroscience?

Team

We are a mixed international team with most developers based in Europe. The work environment is relaxed and built around asynchronous communication. We communicate using microsoft teams and slack and we trying to keep the number of meetings to the necessary minimum. While the position is fully remote, we prefer people based in Europe or the Eastern US region for timezone overlapping.

We all know how fast stacks change these days, so we appreciate developers who are comfortable switching between technologies and willing to learn when a new skill is required. We also believe that your experience is a valuable asset and you will be part of the decision-making process to improve the quality of our programs and our architecture.

Hiring Process

  • Initial call with our Director of Engineering
  • Take-home assignment (You will work on it remotely at your own pace and if you have some code you could share with us we can skip this step)
