Senior Software Engineer - Pelotech

About the job

Company Description

About Pelotech:

We accelerate the business value of our customer's software investments through hands-on engineering, teaching and peer coaching.

In support of this ambition we:

• Cherish and champion values and practices that create trust, safety, collaboration, and measured improvement;
• Will only select employees and customers that do the same.

We are not a consultancy that talks at our customers, nor a "body shop" contract company that lacks an outside perspective to add to the discussion. We teach software acceleration by building alongside our customers.

We also value seeing each other in person and regularly organize company trips. These “workaways” offer the opportunity for us to work together in person while also having fun after the workday.
