Our stack

We have a modern stack with no legacy code (for now!).

We use these frameworks because we think they are the most appropriate to solve our client’s challenges in their journeys to become more sustainable. Having said that, our stack is a team decision and we are always open to different opinions and approaches.

Frontends / PWAs:

  • React
  • React Hooks
  • Redux
  • Redux-loop
  • Ant-design
  • Ant-design mobile

Backend & Infrastructure:

  • NodeJS
  • Express
  • Knex
  • PostgreSQL

  • GitLab
  • Digital Ocean / Amazon EC2

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:

  • A dynamic individual who takes pride in being involved in the full process of designing and constructing technological solutions.
  • Someone who worries about the scalability, performance, accessibility, and maintainability of the products we develop.
  • Experience using the frameworks mentioned above for Backend & Infrastructure (NodeJS, etc.).
  • Experience in related areas such as front-end development, product design, visual design, etc. is a plus.
  • A capable and motivated individual who believes in our mission and our way of working.

What we offer:

  • A flexible work schedule. Work and personal life balance.
  • Work from home, or in our offices. Up to you!
  • Career plan and professional growth.
  • Join a growing team, in a growing product and technology-centric company, in one of the coolest sectors right now. 
  • We are purpose driven, we work with a mission: to contribute with technology to a better and sustainable planet. Your work has a positive impact on our planet and in the lives of others.
  • We are always open to listen to your needs and see how we can meet them.
