Who are we
We are a team of 20-ish Backend engineers. Our primary technology is Ruby on Rails, but we also work with Elixir and Go. Our database of choice is PostgreSQL. Regardless of the exact tech stack, our projects are written in the DDD methodology and we are proud of our excellent test coverage across projects.
We mostly build APIs, admin dashboards, and integrations with 3rd party services. Without us, there would be no APIs for the JS and mobile teams to consume! We don’t like to write a lot of documentation manually, so we generate our API documentation from tests. We regularly share knowledge through weekly presentations and discussions and often collaborate with the JS team, the mobile teams, and DevOps. We like quality software, automating boring stuff, BBQs at Jarun or Mrežnica, and aren’t fans of leaky abstractions, flaky tests, missing and/or bad documentation.

Tools we use
Semaphore CI
We use SemaphoreCI for running our tests and deploying our applications.
Bugsnag
We rely on bugsnag for capturing errors on our applications. When a problem occurs in our code, Bugsnag automatically creates an event and notifies the whole development team.
Rubocop
A Ruby static code analyzer and formatter, created by the community to make clean code, by following the best practices used by Ruby developers.
Rspec
Tests are an important part of our projects, and we use Rspec testing framework for Ruby and as well for Rails. It is the most frequently used testing library for Ruby in production applications.
Dox
Our in house developed Rails gem for automatically generating API documentation from Rspec tests.
GitHub
All of our work is on Github. Everything goes through pull requests and code reviews with your future team members.
Slack
Whether remote or in the office slack enables us to exchange information, discuss code, make decisions quickly and stay on top of things.
Handbook
Through the years we’ve built a vast repository of knowledge related to ruby, rails and backend in general. It also serves as our guide and shows how we make our applications.

We believe that honest two-way feedback is the foundation of growth. In our bi-weekly one-on-one talks and quarterly 360 reviews, we discuss what’s good and what could be better.
Versatile projects
Our teams get to work on very interesting projects for renowned brands and clients from a range of industries, some of which we can’t namedrop due to NDAs.
Educational budget
If you’re eager to learn, we’re eager to help. Every employee receives an educational budget to buy books, attend courses or visit conferences.
Contributing to open source
Sharing is caring doesn’t only apply to chocolate. Our way of giving back to the community is publishing open-source libraries and resources.
Paid language courses
Paid language courses help our employees master the English language, in addition to being fluent in their programming languages.
Doing a career switch
We don’t have a sorting hat to tell you where you belong, but we will support your career switch from one job position to another. More info here.
Traveling on business
Having clients all over the world means our employees sometimes have to travel to and work from beautiful locations. Gotta do what you gotta do.
