This is how we do 😎
In short, we’re a tight group of strategists, designers, and engineers. Our main goal is building whatever is necessary to make our clients’ businesses grow and making the lives of their customers a little easier. And we’re quick about it, too.
Put more concretely, we’ve got several agile product teams working directly with clients to continuously shape and build the digital product that’s perfect for their needs. Go to market ASAP, then start iterating for maximum impact. This is why being fast doesn't imply you're sacrificing quality, or creating a stressful environment.
The keyword here is “impact”. Both for our clients, and for the people working on all these cool projects. We do this by quite literally focusing on creating focus. Clear outcomes each week, one project at a time, no distractions.
Beyond that, expect a dynamic environment filled with young and ambitious people, as well as lots of project variety and room for R&D and personal growth. Also, no timesheets. We believe everyone has their own rhythm, and expectations are managed accordingly.
Spilling the beans 📢
Right now, we’re looking for a full stack engineer with 3-4 years of experience to strengthen one of our product teams. These guys are all about building Shopify-powered solutions; be it an overhaul of an existing platform or building a new one from the ground up. Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- You’ve got full responsibility over the front and back end. The product designer(s) and PM on your team will make sure you have everything you need at all times.
- You’ll be working directly with clients, sharing your perspective, challenging their ideas, and showing your work every Friday during a weekly demo session.
- Being a key player in the team, you love giving and receiving honest feedback, as well as collaborating with and coaching other developers. Knowledge sharing helps everyone; this is not some kind of competition.
- Lastly, growth. Together with the rest of your team you’ll investigate opportunities in learning, reusability, documentation, boilerplates, and personal growth during dedicated R&D weeks.

Bringing it home 🚀
Believe us when we say our team of heroes means the world to us. Simply put, we care about three things: personal growth, having high impact, and getting paid. It’s hard to get a company to thrive if the people in it can’t grow along with it. And you can’t force personal growth either; so where does the motivation to learn and grow come from? That’s right, it’s knowing your efforts are making a difference. Every day, we want you to leave the office with a sense of accomplishment. Oh yeah, and a nice paycheck also helps.
