Working culture

We are 25 people where half of it are technical. Although we are a software company, we are not selling any software but we are providing services through our software. We started as a fin-tech startup eight years ago and for the last years also growing in the mobile telecoms industry. Our business model is B2B2C, meaning our services are used by the customers of our customers.

Since the beginning, we're working remotely and with flexible schedule. This allows our people to work anywhere they want and whenever they want. We basically ask them to complete a man hour per month over a planned schedule based on the business need and their convenience. So, every week everyone plans their next week schedule accordingly by filling up a simple excel schedule for the next four week.

We are a very strong data processing back-end company. We have many integrations and with the incoming data we make decisions and we send data thorough those integrations. Therefore there is a lot of transactions are going on, around one billion per day on a 24/7 basis. All our systems are based on distributed micro services architecture. We are using NoSQL databases.

We have our own git repository, monitoring and ticketing system; we use Kanban based planning tools and telegram for collaboration. We have a work pool where requests appears from internal resources. Apart from incidents, there are mainly two type of requests: First one is called feature/function/component tasks; they are small work items that can be delivered by a single person in a few days; basically it can be a small change, a new component, a report etc. The second on is called service requests, they are work items that can be delivered by a few people in a few weeks; basically everyone brings their previously developed component and try to assemble them in order to create a new service that is most probably going to be delivered to the customer.

As delivery methodology, we start with waterfall method and finish the work with agile method. Meaning, we try to make the solution work on paper first with proper planning, design and then start the development. And in the last mile, we switch to agile and we cover any differences that may be appeared during the development.

We are a flat organization, there are no managers and everybody is a manager if they need help in their work. So everybody is working for everybody.

Everyone starts with an incubation period where they will begin with simpler tasks and learn by making mistakes. Although most of the things are documented, people tend to not to read them and hence make mistakes and learn them. So this initial phase will be kind of boot camp that is going to be harder every day when you are ready to fly alone in our daily business streams. This phase usual takes up to two months, which will be paid and can be taken as the trial period.
