Q: What's the hierarchy of the company?
A: It's pretty flat mostly. Our team are developers and other engineers with the support of people from Operations team, which consist of founders, Office, Head of Development, Sales, HR and PM roles, who take care of non-technical aspects such as project management, agile coaching, sales, marketing, finance and recruitment.
The engineering team has organically split into two sub-groups, frontend and backend, even though they cooperate closely on projects. Some of us have developed skills on both frontend and backend, but usually they work on either one or the other part within a single project.
Q: What does the salary depend on?
A: The salary primarily depends on
whether you're a junior, senior or mid-level engineer.
the possession of key features and traits we define as nice-to-haves for each position type and seniority level.
the length of work at Evojam.
We don't assess engineers' seniority based on "years of experience" as it's a very poor measure of great developers.
