What you get out of it
QA Team
The QA team works very closely with both the product and the engineering teams and currently consists of 2 QA professionals. While both teams have requirements for the QA team’s work and processes, it is largely self-organized in the distribution and organization of tasks and your own input will be very valuable in continuously shaping the teams’ way of working. The product and engineering teams work with the Shape Up methodology, splitting work into roughly six-week-long cycles and shipping a new release at the end of each cycle. Each engineering team is sized around 4-8 engineers, led by one engineering manager. The team structure revolves around the different layers of our SDKs and business, such as core, platform-specific, or solutions. Location-wise, all teammates are scattered all over Europe and working in a remote-first setting. Every year we get the team together for a fantastic trip to hang out and get to know each other in person.

Tech-Stack
We are building SDKs for many platforms. Our business logic layer is implemented in C/C++ and shared between all our platforms. For each platform like web, iOS, or Android, we use TypeScript and React, Swift and SwiftUI, or Kotlin and Jetpack Compose respectively. Due to the nature of our product, we need to get our hands on almost every platform-specific language and UI system. In addition, we need to support every significant cross-platform SDK, such as React Native or Flutter. On the infrastructure side, we still have some services in Ruby on Rails but have started migrating everything to TypeScript and using more and more serverless approaches.

Company Profile

Join our creative invasion
Just shoot us a message. Don't worry about not matching all the bullet points. Let's be honest, no one does. Send us a piece of code like a link to your GitHub repository or a personal project app that you are quite proud of. Links to GitHub and a CV and a cover letter would also be cute as a button. 
If you experience problems in uploading your documents, please email them to jobs@img.ly. 

We don't need a novel as a cover letter. A polished CV or your LinkedIn profile can be a safe bet. But, we are far more interested in the projects you’ve been working on, some code, or anything that you want to show us. Rise above the noise and let's have a remote cup of coffee. ☕
