What we offer
How we learn and grow
All our developers in the Prague office have an option to use 10 % of working hours for self development to get familiar with new technologies and to improve soft-skills as well. At the same time we learn new things and research what brings the most value to the client. We expect from you to introduce new technologies and methods to team as well.
Technologies we did not use 2 years ago
and learned them
- AWS – Our DevOps team received a dedicated self-study time to prepare themselves for AWS certification, which they successfully passed and therefore we started to develop first apps with backend on AWS.
- Vue.js – We are big fans of React, but our group of developers wanted to expand their skills and therefore we could compare the advantages and disadvantages of vue/react.
- Test café – Our QA engineers needed a testing tool with cross-browser support and within the self study programme they mastered Test café.
- Node.js – Limited parking spots in front of our office gave us the idea of developing our own parking app, where our developers acquired the knowledge of back-end based on Node.js.
- ReasonML – We learned this typed language from Facebook on our own product for evaluating user stories, which we use for scrum planning.
Our amazing benefits
