A bit about the team

We have four engineers on our team. Our goal is for development teams to manage the infrastructure themselves. We prefer to create tools and processes for self-managed infrastructure but not to leave developers without any help when needed. We are part of a big Infrastructure team and actively work with security and DevOps, developers, and admins.

It’s valuable to us to support product teams professionally. That’s why we don’t have support lines with escalations : we take team requests and improve the process ourselves. We analyze requests and collect feedback.

We will try to create all the right conditions for you to work and rest comfortably

• Unlimited PTO
• Flexi Benefit for your hobby
• Employee Support Program
• Loss of family member financial aid
• Employee Resource Groups
• Meals, snacks, and drinks at the office
• Teambuilding
• Training, courses, conferences
• Gifts for employees
