Your average day in KVSocial

First, you’d log into Glip (team chat) and Teamrack (our intranet software), check all messages, and provide response where needed. After that, pull Git repo's on the project(s) you are working on. To start programming, you’d open Asana, and check your tasks. If you have any questions about priority or any of the pending tasks, you would ask them on Glip. Then start working, and every task you finish do a Git commit. At the end of your day, you would give a short 'twitter like' update in teamrack on what you have done that day.

We work in weekly or bi-weekly sprints to protect our developers from constantly changing requirements. So when a sprint is planned you know what to do for the next week or 2 weeks and you get to plan your own time around that.

About us - KVSocial

We have 20 employees (+1?), and our primary business focus is web applications and SaaS products in the Internet Marketing market. However, we are gradually moving away from IM and the one-problem-one-solution software and 'opportunity' products to a real SaaS model.

The company has been around for 3+ years and has been profitable from year 1. We have launched various software apps and websites (like this site Jobrack.eu) and gained tens of thousands of customers in the process.

We don't have a formal culture -- you can talk to anybody in the team, including the CEO and CTO, in ordinary matter. Furthermore, we don't care if you show up to work in your pajamas, shorts or a suit :). Also if you have digital nomad ambitions we'll be happy to help out with that!

We look for dedication and professionalism while giving you full creative freedom. We all contribute immensely to the success of our company, and all employees are an integral part of our success. We want people who believe in our product as much as we do. In return, we give you the flexibility to work in your most motivating environment.

We love our multi-cultural company and the fact we have people from all over the world working on creating the best products to give our customers.

How to apply?

First tell us if you are applying for Javascript or PHP developer position and then go over –each- of the skills mentioned and rate yourself from 0 to 10 (where 10 is super duper awesome, 0 is I have no idea and 1 is no experience).

Together with your message, please include the answer to the following question:
