โ˜˜๏ธ Where we are and how we work: โ˜˜๏ธ

Our tech stack is Ansible and Ruby.

Working for Lifetimely doesn't feel like the usual office or startup gig: we are a distributed group of eleven people across ten different countries ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ with our own way of working. Some of us are nomads, some just like working remotely. We highly encourage written (long-form) communication and documenting things on Notion and generally don't like tight fixed schedules. There is not really much management or oversight, we expect you to know how to manage yourself. We prioritize shipping and results above how or when you do the work.

Two meetings per week, one for the devs on Tuesday, another one on Thursdays for everyone. That's it. If you are into distributed work, you will enjoy working with us.
