You can directly influence the company’s future. Our leaders are not appointed but chosen by their actions.

You can feel appreciated for your extra input and clearly see what skills are rewarded.

You are empowered to explore and co-create your own development path within a custom, developers-friendly promotion system.

Quality time together

We foster true connections. You enjoy monthly integrations full of fun activities for the whole team.

Company getaways

Twice a year, it’s time for a weekend away. To one of these fun-filled escapes, we bring our loved ones.

Free English classes

Share your technical knowledge on a conference or our blog to win prizes in a gamified tournament.

Bottom up structure

Our leaders are not appointed but chosen by their teammates. Everybody can contribute to how SoftwareMill operates.

Knowledge transfer

We learn together for certificates, do architecture katas, read technical books, or simply help each other on a daily basis.

We’ve learned that soft skills are essential and help us work better. There is always some soft skill initiative open to join.

Attend internal workshops by top-notch IT experts that will help you grow as a developer.

100% remote forever

You’ll find out that remote does not mean alone. Remote-first from day 1, we’ve created a setup that enhances our daily work.

Work-life balance

You’re free to organize your workday around important family matters or other obligations if necessary.

Want to meet with your project team onsite? No problem, you’ll get a budget for spending quality time together.

Absolute transparency

You have access to all information, including finances, necessary to contribute to strategic decisions.

No surprises here ;) Contact us, and we’ll ask you to fill out a short questionnaire to learn more about your motivations and expectations.

02

Video Call

Let’s chat! We’ll tell you more about us, the process, the team, and discuss your expectations. We’ll also speak a bit in English.

03

Technical task

Hands-on work, that's what we’re all about. You’ll tackle real tasks, whether it's coding, setting up systems, analyzing data, or improving campaigns. And you’ll always get detailed feedback to help you grow!

04

Technical interview

A great opportunity to discuss your technical tasks in detail and share your experience in our industry.

05

Lunch meeting

Let’s grab lunch and see if we’d make a great team together.

What can you expect when joining us

Remote

We all work from our homes, co-working offices, or sometimes even from the Bieszczady Mountains. Remote-first from day 1, we've become experts in distributed workplace best practices.

Bottom-up structure

Everyone has the same right to voice their opinions or change the way the company works, no matter if you are a boss or a developer who joined us a month ago.

Transparency

You will know how much each of us earns or how much we spend on various things. We practice full transparency — both decision-making and financial.

Self-improvement

You get paid days off when you attend conferences. We also appreciate when you want to share your knowledge with others at internal knowledge sharing initiatives.

We're a company launched and led by active developers, so we understand that an SSD disc is not a whim and two large external LCD displays setup is not too much. If you need any stuff to work, you will get it.

Great Team

Skills do not tell the whole story. Values play a crucial part in who we are, what we give back to the community, and who we invite on a journey with us.
