Our engineering team

The engineering team consist of: a CTO, three full-stack engineers, one back-end engineer, and one QA tester. We aim for a relaxed environment within the ambitious goals we have for our product.

Our server is fully typed and built using NodeJS, Apollo, Redis, Postgres, ElasticSearch and more modern technologies. Our web application is also typed and uses VueJS, Apollo, WebSockets, and more. Other tooling currently includes AWS, Storybook, Cypress, Jest, Stripe, and WorkOS.

A typical day at the office for an engineer includes; flexibility to organise your own time, no set hours, ample time for deep work, as few mandatory meetings as possible, plenty of pair programming with team members to get your code just right, reviewing pull requests, and running around in our virtual office.

Our culture

TheyDo's culture is 'Do' rather than 'Talk'. Better ask for forgiveness instead of permission, no one will be accused of trying. We try to keep things simple because complexity slows us down.

It's not about the time spent, but the outcome achieved. It's up to everyone to map, plan and interact in the best way to get the most out of their day, week, and sprint. Always with an open mindset because we never know when and where the next great idea will surface.

Being remote we nourish and cherish connectivity, so no one feels alone or left out. We don't have long lines of communication or decisions because hierarchies and silos are part of the past and we love to shape the future. In our virtual office, you can just walk up to your team to have a quick chat, get work done or simply say hello. We motivate everyone to find their own work/life balance. Whether you choose to work asynchronously or synchronously it's up to you as long it fits you and your team.

TheyDo is an equal employer treating everyone as equals. We value diversity and individuality. We think long term and strive to hire the best match for each role, no matter your background.
