Currently, the tech team consists of 20 people; you will have a significant impact on the evolution of the company and the product!

How we work

We use the Shape Up method to organize the teams. Our timeline is organized in 8-week cycles consisting of 6 weeks of feature development followed by 2 weeks of cooldown where the tech team can focus on refactoring, bug fixing, performance improvements.
