Why Work With Us
Remote-first, meeting-free, and optimized for engineers who want to ship, not manage process.
Remote-First Culture
Work from anywhere in the EU timezone (UTC±3). Slack for async chat, Notion for knowledge, GitHub for code. We trust you to manage your own time — no standups, no status theatre.
No-Meeting Policy
Focus on what matters. No unnecessary meetings, no agile ceremonies, no status performance. Clear tickets, direct communication, working code.
Developer Resources
Pre-configured Linux remote workstation (8-core CPU, 32 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD) reachable via our internal VPN. Works with JetBrains, VS Code, and Cursor out of the box.
Contractor Model
Paid in USD with 20 paid leave days per year. You'll need a registered company (freelance, umbrella company, or similar) for invoicing — one that accepts international USD payments. Due to banking restrictions, we cannot work with contractors from certain countries; our remote policy lists the full exclusion set.
