Our culture

Our engineers enjoy a lot of autonomy and flexibility to do what they do best: solve problems.

Concretely, this means that each of us takes ownership of their tasks and projects and are free to organise their time as they see fit. This also means that there is no micromanagement and that we keep meetings to a minimum to allow for focus time to code.

We are 100% remote and have an international team, but we strive to meet regularly in offsites. The last one was in Portugal where the team got to know each other better and worked on an exciting new project that they delivered after that week.

We love code reviews, debates and knowledge sharing. These happen freely within teams as well as cross-department through guilds and other initiatives.

Here is our tech stack.

Backend: Python 3.8, Django
Frontend: ES2018, React, Redux, styled-components, Jest
Database: PostgreSQL, Redshift, DynamoDB
Continuous Deployment/Tools: Gitlab/GitlabCI, PyCharm, Goland
Infrastructure: ECS, Kubernetes (EKS), Istio, Prometheus stack, AWS, Chef

How we behave.

We're human. Our diversity and unique experience make us strong. We allow ourselves to be vulnerable and treat one another with grace. We take ownership. We expect one another to take initiative and trust each person to make decisions based on the best available data. We have passion, perseverance and urgency to hit our goals and work together to create the best outcomes. We think big. We innovate and challenge the status quo to maximize the value we deliver to our users. We constantly experiment with new ways to drive excellence. We're real. We are honest with ourselves and one another. We listen, speak up, and are ready to change our minds.

DISCLAIMER:

At Codility, we know that great work isn’t done without a phenomenal team. We are always looking to hire the absolute best talent and recognize that diversity in our experiences and backgrounds is what makes us stronger. We insist on an inclusive culture where everyone feels safe to contribute and help us innovate. We hire candidates of any race, color, ancestry, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital or family status, disability, or veteran status. These differences are what enable us to work towards the future we envision for ourselves, our product, our customers, and our world.
