Lead JavaScript Engineer

Capable. Skilful. Hungry for more challenges. Are those your features? Noice, let us feed you with more exciting challenges then.

Mr. Miyagi and Yoda rolled into one. Yep, that’s what we need. Some experienced developer who is hungry for more challenges. Someone who can look at the big picture of a project, understand its business logic and see how all of its aspects should fit together to form a coherent digital solution. If you’re good at developing new features and providing technical leadership to development teams, you can work anywhere. If you’re better than good, see you Monday and let’s create great stuff together.

• validating other team members’ implementational approach

• being able to present your solutions in front of clients and/or a group of colleagues
• rolling out new features, analyzing, and reacting to the results you learn about from our QA engineers and user feedback

Our point of view

We choose technologies according to specific project needs. We don't use an axe to unwind a screw. If we get stuck, we don't beat our head against the wall - we Google, ask questions and learn new things.

We don't care who's in the office from 9 to 5. We don't have stop watches. What's important is high quality of our deliveries.

We're not big on formalities either. Healthy, direct relationship and communication comes before anything. Solid arguments always win over hierarchy. "Bugger off" is fine as well.

When under a deadline, we grind our teeth and do the job. When not, we drink beer. Or we make our own. It’s good. Sometimes.

What’s in it for you

A lot. Steady job in a company many people would like to work at. Ability to work from anywhere, as long as your stuff is done on time and performs well. You don’t have to punch that card at the factory entrance to get your hours clocked.

An opportunity to grow as high as a kite. Or at least as high your skills and “I want more” take you.

A team of people like you’ve never seen before. It’s amazing to be Human.
