  • Teach and be taught by others.

Job requirements: 

  • Higher education (Bachelor's degree) in computer science or related field. 
  • 2+ years experience coding with an object-oriented programming language, we primarily use Java and Python but believe that software developers need to be flexible and able to upskill with new languages and tools quickly.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
  • Flexible working hours. 
  • Work from home or from the office
  • Casual work environment.
  • Performance based evaluations and salary hikes. 
  • Several hackathons per year.
