Sneak Peek of datarockets

We work remotely 🇧🇾 🇷🇺 🇨🇦 🇻🇳 🇰🇿 🇺🇿 🇲🇩 🇦🇲 🇵🇱. It's a common comment that it requires a lot of self-discipline to work remotely. We believe it is more about good processes and habits.

Good processes is something we've been working on for the last five years. We moved our conversations to chats. We make calls for pair programming and discussing tasks in real time but always write a summary after the call.

It's important to be pro-active and inform everyone about things you do and obstacles you have even if nobody asks.

We believe that it's much easier to work together when you know your teammates personally, not only their work skills. It is easier to ask someone for help quickly if you were discussing a recent movie premier just yesterday.

In order to make people know each other better we have weekly check-ins — an all hands one hour long call where we share what happened with us during the last week: last book we read, a new place we visited, family event we had.

Twice a year we organize a party and bring everyone to it. We spend time together and chat a lot. That's very interesting time since we have people from different cultures. You can learn how traditional wedding parties look like in Vietnam and how to cook lagman.

We work remotely #remote and know how to do it well.

We care about people #people-first and projects #work-as-a-team-with-clients.

We cover 50% of educational activities.

In addition to the cover letter and CV, please answer on these questions:

1. How do you organize business logic in your app?
2. What would you do if you suspect that a gem doesn't work as you expected? How would you debug this?
3. How do you deploy your apps? What experience do you have with infrastructure?

Please show us examples of your code.
