FAQ

What is your hiring process?

• We value your time and ours and this is why we try to have an efficient hiring process, starting with announcing the salary ranges in the job description. After you apply, our in-house recruiter decides whether your application is relevant to what we’re looking for and if yes, schedules a short phone interview. If you’re selected to proceed, you will be handed a technical assignment that you will have to complete within 1 or 2 weeks (depending on the position). After submitting it, a committee of senior engineers will assess it and if satisfied, a technical interview will follow. If you’re selected to proceed, there will be a final discussion with our CEO and a financial offer. The whole process usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete.

You mention that you aim at being #1 in the world. Where do you stand now?

• Asking chatGPT for “best corporate elearning systems” consistently yields TalentLMS in the top-5. Other sources, such as Forbes, elearningindustry and more, rank us similarly.

What’s a typical working day like?

• We employ scrum, with 2-week sprints. At the start of the sprint, you get assigned a number of tasks, which you had previously discussed with your team during a refinement session. During the sprint you get to collaborate with your squad teammates, perform several code reviews, do pair programming, and ultimately contribute to your team’s velocity.

You mention in the description about “professional and personal development”. Do you have some data to back this up?

• In 2023 alone we will be sending more than 50 engineers in total, in more than 10 conferences world-wide. You could come and look for us in ReactJS, DDD and AI conferences in Amsterdam, IPC in Berlin, Craft in Budapest and GotoCPH in Copenhagen (among others). We’re also sponsoring AWS, Agile and other certifications, and organise workshops and training sessions in-house.

What about remote work options?

• About 60% of our engineers are located in Athens, which leaves a considerable 40% working purely remotely. We’ve been doing remote since before it was cool, but we also enjoy meeting in the office. Partially/fully remote opportunities are negotiable.

Fun fact: This job description was built with the assistance of jobed.ai, a tool developed in-house to help with composing job descriptions - and yes, its implementation is much more complex than simply interfacing with chatGPT :)
