    Are you the one we are looking for?

    We are looking for motivated and independent-thinking developers.

    The ideal candidate for us is a quick learner, able to pick up the nuances of a complex domain fast.

    They are intellectually curious, and adaptable and they have proactively done many interesting things, even without being paid to do them.

    We are open to candidates with "unconventional tech" backgrounds e.g. non-technical degrees, self-taught developers etc.

    If you believe that you have serious and relevant skills (despite your unconventional background), and can prove it, we'd like to hear from you.

    Your lack of work experience (or the converse) will not be a handicap if you can demonstrate possession of the skills we need, a winning attitude, and the ability to learn fast.
