How we work
- Lean methodology: we use iterative strategies. Our team builds to add value, whether to solve problems for our clients or internal ones.
- Design thinking: we create simple prototypes and user tests because before we commit to building something, we need to understand what we’ll need. You will have the chance to be involved in this phase of the product design. However, if you prefer to just focus on coding, that’s fine with us too.
- Flexible processes: forget about strict processes and structures. Our team is constantly in contact with stakeholders and we decide for ourselves how we are organized.
- Quality: all the code we provide must be well-structured, efficient, and easy to maintain, however, we’re not obsessed with metrics. The best quality standard is for your coworkers to be able to understand your code and work with it.
- Open Source Philosophy: we use OSS when possible, and contribute our improvements back upstream. Once our codebase is mature enough, we plan to release the pieces that could be useful for the community.
What we look for
APlanet is a team of the best professionals in each area, with a shared passion for applying what we do best to help organisations create positive social and environmental impact.

- Love for tech and product design.

- Fluency in English and Spanish. Additional languages such as Portuguese, Italian or French will be a plus.
What you will do
- Make sure that APlanet tech products comply with company quality assurance standards.
- Carefully maintain a complaint and nonconformance processing through tracking systems, including root cause and corrective actions.
