Work process
We try to push to prod every day.
We take “Ship fast and break things” to heart.
Also “monitor your own stuff and make sure you fix things if you break something” 🙂
Innovation
velocity is our number one priority. We have no idea what will be
useful to merchants and what won’t be, so we try to ship → collect
feedback → ship → etc
We’re a small team
We’re a team of 8, half is tech
You’ll be working alongside the tech founder and a dev lead
You have the freedom to work however you like
We’re fully remote
There’s no strict working time ( CET is our anchor )
You will be writing code 99% of the time, no bureaucracy
We have no meetings unless necessary ( async chat or loom is preferred )

You’ll be presented with “shaped” features ( not too concrete, not too vague specs )
