This is what your working week looks like.
Your week consists of work that contributes to the success of the development team. Today, after the daily meeting, you start by carefully reviewing the project status, code conventions, and the git flow. In addition to supporting fellow programmers, today you’re primarily focused on writing code that lays the foundation for a successful week. You manage to transform a complex problem into a technically feasible solution through a spike. You are master of your own schedule and ensure that everyone in your team can perform optimally.
Tuesdays are entirely dedicated to architecture; the foundation of every good SaaS solution. Together with the team, we discuss functionality, brainstorm bottlenecks, and refine tasks. Also, based on your expertise, spikes are defined to always determine the right solution direction, no matter how complex the problem! The outcome of this day is incorporated into the sprint planning, ensuring our platform continues to grow and improve consistently and continuously. Moreover, today you manage to get a colleague back on track by removing a persistent blocker.
This day is about creating robust and efficient code, with special attention to user experience and functionality. It is your responsibility to ensure that the code you deliver is secure, performs well, and is completed within the estimates. You closely monitor the assigned tasks and personal planning, making sure to propose new functionalities that benefit both existing and future customers.
Thursday is reserved for code reviews, quality assurance, and optimization. You test and evaluate new and updated features, ensure the integration of best practices in security, and work on performance improvement. This ensures that all developed features meet the highest possible standards. Additionally, you come across an opportunity that can significantly boost performance! This too is documented, so you can bring it up on Tuesday as input for the sprint.
The big day of the release has arrived! You’ve contributed a lot to this sprint cycle and keep everyone sharp during the stand-up to ensure everything goes smoothly. And when the platform goes live, it’s time to celebrate. At the end of the day during the week’s closing, you evaluate your KPIs and prepare for the coming week. The weekend is kicked off with a festive drink together with your colleagues.
This is your turf,
everything all lined up
We describe our roles extensively in so-called scorecard documents because we like to be transparent.
That way, everyone knows what to expect from each other.
Go wild in our digital sandbox.
Each project is unique, and with each project, we learn more and more about scalable architecture. That’s why we develop all solutions on our own stack, composed of open-source technology.
This stack consists of a collection of commonly used functionalities developed as standardized modules. This allows us to easily configure, reuse, optimize, maintain, and update our solutions. It gives us more space to better explore and realize the technically challenging aspects of each project.
To support this, all our applications are dockerized and ready to be deployed from our private registry. The deployment process is managed with Gitlab CI/CD, where pipelines are automatically built, tested, reviewed, and deployed in multiple environments.
We see our stack as a digital sandbox and challenge each other to add interesting modules, launch separate SaaS products from it, or simply to try out and develop a creative idea. If you have a brilliant idea, you can really go for it here.
The process from application to growth path.
