About us
Every new team member changes the team. We love to learn from each other and we are looking for people who know things we dont.
Becoming part of Giant Swarm means that by extension you also become part of the Cloud Native community. We actively contribute to upstream projects and our quarterly hackathons will give you space to work on out-of-the-box projects. Occasionally when we as a team want to fully focus on one project we scratch all meetings and routines for a certain time to better focus during our hive-sprints.
Continuous learning is important to us - we foster this through bi-yearly personal development talks a budget for training/certifications/coaching as well as regular feedback talks and workshops. Our teams are cross- functional and collaboration is key.
Nothing crazy but useful Basics: We currently operate on a 32 hour workweek (or 4 day workweek you decide!). We dont count holidays but set a minimum number; You choose your own hard- and software; As a company that has almost if not more kids than employees family-friendliness is crucial to us and paid parental leave is a no-brainer; We pay monthly perks that cover your costs for working remotely; We meet twice a year as an entire company and (if possible) see conferences as an important place to catch up with team members; We aim to be fully transparent (finance salaries) unless it hurts people and trust you based on this to make the best decisions
A note on the use of AI in our hiring process: real people read every application no AI screening no automated filters. We build tools we use tools we get excited about tools. We also know better than most that the best ones change whats possible. What were looking for is how you really think what youve built and how you see the world. Using AI is fine - just dont miss the chance to let us get to know you. After all humans are way more fun to meet at our onsites!
We failed in exactly describing our way to approach important company elements that can be described with buzzwords such as agile mindset cross-functional teams self-organization value of the individual or trust & teamwork. However we truly care about them we live them and we constantly iterate on them. Some snippets about how we do this are posted in ourblogbut by far not all of them.
Important note: We are not hiring job descriptions. We hire humans. :) We welcome applications from everybody regardless ethnic or national origin religion gender identity sexual orientation or age. When you apply for a role at Giant Swarm we will also consider you for other relevant roles or ones that may come up in future if this one isnt a good fit at this time.
