Implement new features and deploy them to customers on an ongoing basis.

Work on the whole development lifecycle (discovery, delivery, testing, releasing, supporting and maintaining).
Help the team champion software quality while being pragmatic.
Work in a collaborative, transparent, non-hierarchical and ego-free culture where your talent is valued over your job title.

We rely on the following technologies:

This is not a “shopping list” of experience (or buzz words), so please don’t worry if you haven’t worked with them all (neither had we when we started). We are about finding the right tools to solve the problem, if you are willing to learn new skills then we are interested in speaking with you!
