Serious stuff

Reporting: You will report into the project leads for the clients they are working on.

Work hours: Generally queries tend to come in between 9:00 - 17:00, Monday to Friday. Other than being available to offer support in a timely manner, we don't mind when you get to your other tasks. As long as things are done on time and as agreed, nobody cares when you do them. We expect everyone to be accountable and manage their own time.

No need to seem busy, rather go have fun somewhere if there is nothing to get done (or you really need a break).

Office: We have flexible shared workspaces subscriptions for those that would like to go somewhere to work. You don't have to go there unless you need or want to.

Initial training sessions for new teams are often held at their offices. Any follow up training can take place online.

Catering: If you are working from a shared workspace or meeting up with a colleague or client – coffee, lunch, snacks are a company expense.

Qualifications: we like people who have done something interesting, who have tried something big and failed (or succeeded – that's also fine).

Leave: in principle, you can take as much leave as you want. You are responsible to get things done though – so make sure you plan around it OR, just do a working holiday (i.e. go away but work for a couple of hours so support queries get a response timeously).

KPIs/OKRs: we figure out with you on a quarterly basis what needs to be done that is really important. That becomes your project for the quarter along all the other systems. If you do your job really well, you will end up automating/improving your processes so that they take up less time and you can find something else to do.

Career: we don't believe in careers – we believe in having a good life. You can get new roles and new challenges the more you prove yourself. Salaries go up too as you get more responsibility and can deliver better quality work.

Even though this all sounds like easy going fun – it is all based on everyone delivering what they are meant to, on time. We are really hard on the quality of delivery because that makes or breaks the entire system. So we are very direct if our expectations are not being met and there is often a learning curve.
